Equipment

  • Skillet
  • Mixing Bowl

Ingredients

Avocados

  • 4 pieces ripe avocados

Seasoning

  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • to taste Kosher salt
  • to taste Freshly ground black pepper

Toppings

  • 2/3 cup shredded Mexican cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1/2 cup quartered grape tomatoes
  • to taste Sour cream for topping

Lime Juice

  • 1 piece lime, juiced

Instructions

  • Step 1: Prepare the Avocados - Slice the avocados in half lengthwise and remove the pits. Gently scoop out a little bit of the center (about a tablespoon or so) to create more space for stuffing. Drizzle the cut sides with lime juice to prevent browning and add a fresh, zesty flavor.
  • Step 2: Cook the Beef Filling - In a large skillet over medium heat, warm the extra-virgin olive oil. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until translucent. Add the ground beef, breaking it up with a spoon, and cook until browned—about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.
  • Step 3: Season the Beef - Sprinkle in the taco seasoning, stirring well to distribute. Add a splash of water per the seasoning packet instructions. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the mixture is thick and fragrant. Taste and season with kosher salt and black pepper as desired.
  • Step 4: Assemble the Avocado Tacos - Spoon the cooked beef mixture generously into each avocado half. Top with plenty of shredded Mexican cheese, shredded lettuce, grape tomatoes, and a dollop of sour cream. Feel free to let everyone assemble their own for added fun!
  • Step 5: Serve and Enjoy - Arrange the stuffed avocados on a large platter or individual plates. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

Choose avocados that are ripe but still firm—they should yield slightly when pressed, but not feel mushy. This ensures they’ll hold their shape when stuffed.
