Taco Stuffed Avocados
Description
The recipe begins by browning ground beef and draining excess grease to keep the filling lean. The meat is simmered briefly with chili powder, salt, cumin, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, and tomato sauce to develop a richly seasoned taco mixture. The cooked beef is spooned into avocado halves where the pits have been removed, creating a natural bowl.
The avocado acts as a creamy base, pairing with sharp cheddar cheese, fresh cherry tomatoes, shredded lettuce, and optional fresh cilantro and sour cream toppings. This combination provides fresh and crunchy contrasts to the warm, spiced beef. Optionally, some avocado can be scooped out to make guacamole, enlarging the filling space.
These stuffed avocados work well for light meals or appetizers. Notes suggest serving alongside Cilantro Lime Cauliflower Rice to complement the flavors. The preparation is simple and the result is visually appealing with vibrant fresh and cooked ingredients.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 tbsp chili powder

Instructions
- Add the ground beef to a medium size sauce pan. Cook over medium heat until browned.
- Drain the grease and add the seasonings and the tomato sauce. Stir to combine. Cook for about 3-4 minutes.
- Remove the pit from the halved avocados. Load the crater left from the pit with the taco meat. Top with cheese, tomatoes, lettuce, cilantro and sour cream.
