Taco Stuffed Avocado

Servings: 8

Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsps avocado oil
  • 1-1/2 lbs ground chicken or turkey
  • 1 onion finely diced
  • 1 red bell pepper seeded & finely diced
  • 2 Tbsps taco seasoning spice mix
  • 4 avocados halved and pitted
  • 1/2 cup Cotija cheese OR shredded Colby Jack cheese
  • a handful of fresh cilantro leaves

Chipotle Salsa:

  • 1 large fresh orange peeled and cut into segments
  • 1 fresh lime juiced
  • 2 chipotle peppers in adobo
  • 1 Tbsp raw honey
  • sea salt to taste

Instructions

  • To make it easier to scoop out take a knife and gently make cuts in avocado flesh in a cross-hatch pattern, careful not to break through the avocado peel.
  • Heat your oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add in the meat, bell pepper, onion, and taco seasonings. Cook, stirring and breaking the meat occasionally, for about 8-10 minutes until cooked through.
  • Meanwhile, in a food processor, add the lime, orange, honey, chipotle peppers in adobo, sea salt, and ground pepper. Process until smooth.
  • Once the meat is done and fully cooked through, stir in half of your chipotle salsa and remove from heat. Reserve the remaining half of your salsa to drizzle over the avocados just before serving.
  • Arrange your avocado halves on a platter and spoon the meat mixture into each as desired.
  • Top with cheese, cilantro, and remaining chipotle salsa.
  • Use a spoon to dig in!
  • Enjoy!
