Avocado Tacos

PREP TIME10 minutes

COOK TIME25 minutes

TOTAL TIME35 minutes

Ingredients

• 4 ripe avocados
• Juice of 1 lime or lemon
• 1 Tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 1 pound lean ground beef
• 2 Tablespoons taco seasoning
• 2 Tablespoons water
• Salt and pepper to taste

Topping options:

• 2/3 cups shredded Mexican cheese
• 1/2 cup quartered grape tomatoes
• 1/2 cup sour cream

Instructions

1. Cut the avocados in half. Remove the pit and scoop out a bit of avocado to create a larger well which will be filled with the beef mixture. Squeeze a little bit of lime or lemon juice over the open avocados to prevent browning.
2. In a medium pan, heat oil over medium heat and saute onion until soft (about 5 minutes). Add ground beef and fry until brown.
3. Add taco seasoning and water and cook over low heat for 5 minutes.
4. Season with salt and pepper as needed.
5. Remove from heat and let cool a little.
6. Fill the holes in each avocado with beef, then top with cheese, tomato, and a little sour cream.

Notes

• Ground turkey works well as a substitute for ground beef.
• Make healthy taco salads with the leftovers.
• SUBSTITUTE: What else can I use instead of avocados? Bell peppers are a good substitute for avocados and the recipe will still be keto-friendly.
