Ingredients

• 250 g (9 oz) ground beef (80/20 preferred)
• 2 large ripe avocados, halved and pitted
• 1 small tomato, diced
• 1/4 small red onion, finely chopped
• 1 small jalapeño, seeded and minced (optional)
• 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 lime, juiced
• 80 g (1/3 cup) sour cream
• 60 g (1/2 cup) shredded cheddar or Mexican cheese blend
• 1 tsp chili powder
• 1/2 tsp ground cumin
• 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
• 1/2 tsp dried oregano
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
• 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

Prepare the fresh salsa

Combine tomato, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, half the lime juice, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Set aside.

Cook the taco meat

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned, about 5 minutes.

Season the meat

Stir in garlic, chili powder, cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Cook for 2 more minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat.

Prepare the avocados

Halve the avocados and remove pits. Carefully scoop out a small amount of flesh from each half to create a larger cavity, reserving the scooped avocado.

Enhance the salsa

Dice the reserved avocado flesh and gently fold it into the salsa.

Prevent browning

Squeeze the remaining lime juice over the avocado halves to prevent browning.

Assemble the stuffed avocados

Divide the taco meat evenly among the avocado halves. Top with cheese while the meat is warm to allow melting.

Add toppings

Spoon salsa over each stuffed avocado. Add a dollop of sour cream on top. Serve immediately.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

When selecting avocados for this recipe, look for ones that are ripe but still firm enough to hold their shape. They should yield slightly to gentle pressure but not be too soft. If you're making this dish for a gathering, you can prepare the taco meat and salsa ahead of time, then assemble everything just before serving to ensure the avocados stay fresh and don't brown.

Varianten und Anpassungen

This recipe is incredibly versatile and can be adapted to suit various dietary needs. For a leaner option, substitute ground turkey or chicken for the beef. If you're dairy-free, omit the cheese and use a plant-based sour cream alternative. Vegetarians can replace the meat with sautéed mushrooms and walnuts seasoned with the same spice blend for a hearty, meat-like texture. For extra heat, leave some seeds in the jalapeño or add a dash of your favorite hot sauce.

Serviervorschläge

These Keto Taco Stuffed Avocados make a complete meal on their own, but you can also serve them alongside a simple green salad dressed with lime and olive oil for a more substantial dinner. For entertaining, arrange the stuffed avocados on a platter and place small bowls of additional toppings like extra salsa, sliced black olives, or pickled jalapeños nearby so guests can customize to their taste. For a fun presentation, serve each stuffed avocado half on a bed of shredded lettuce.
