Ingredients:
- About 5 to 6 Hass avocados, halved with pit removed and slightly hollowed out with removed flesh reserved
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- One 1.25-ounce packet taco seasoning (I used reduced sodium medium heat)
- One 6-ounce package Horizon Organic Mexican Style Shredded Cheese, divided
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 or 2 Roma tomatoes or your favorite tomato, diced small
- Cilantro, for garnishing
How To Make Avocado Tacos:
- Halve the avocados and remove the pit. Use a spoon to widen and deepen the hole where the pit was, so it can hold more taco filling.
- Alternatively, you can score the avocado vertically and horizontally with a small paring knife, then carefully remove the small chunks with a spoon. This method ensures a neater presentation, but either way works. Set aside the avocado halves and the removed flesh.
- In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes or until it is cooked through and no longer pink. Stir occasionally and crumble the beef as it cooks.
- Sprinkle the taco seasoning evenly over the beef, add the water, and stir to combine. Cook for about 3 minutes.
- Turn off the heat and add most of the shredded cheese, reserving about 1/2 cup for garnishing. Stir to combine and allow the cheese to melt, which will take around 1 minute.
- Add about 1/4 cup of the beef mixture to each avocado half, or as desired. Top with diced tomatoes, reserved avocado flesh, and sprinkle with the reserved cheese. Garnish with fresh cilantro.
- Serve immediately and enjoy the goodness!
