How To Stuff An Avocado

This is such an easy dish to make. All that’s needed is to slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, use a spoon to scoop out a little of the avocado to create a larger crater. And make sure you save the avocado to make some guacamole!

Then just load up the avocado halves with your taco toppings of choice! Although I recommend following the recipe below for the BEST taco meat made with a homemade taco seasoning. Or you can use these recipes for some Slow cooker sweet barbacoa, Mexican brisket, or carnitas to stuff the avocados with also.

      1. Just keep in mind where the calories are coming from. Avocado is a wonderful healthy source to enjoy 🙂

  1. 21 g of fats isn’t so high when you are talking about avocado anyways, it’s a good fat not bad! Love this, so going to make tomorrow

    1. Hi Toni! I leave the skin on the avocado and use it kind of as a bowl. I eat it with a spoon or fork and just scoop some of the avocado with each bite of the filling. Enjoy!

  2. No questions
    Just a compliment.
    This is going on my family’s low-carb menu ASAP!!!
    I don’t know why I hadn’t thought of it…
    There are many different types of carbs and it can be hard to decipher….
    I get it…
    Albeit barely….
    ….SO much protein and SO MANY healthy fats…

    1. I believe it is! I just put the recipes into myfitnesspal.com and use the information that they provide. Looking up the ingredients separately though I’m fairly sure that it’s lower since it looks like 1 avocado is only 14 g and the serving size is for 1/2 of an avocado.

    1. The serving size is set for half an avocado. I just put the recipes into myfitnesspal.com and use the information that they provide. Looking up the ingredients separately though I’m fairly sure that it’s lower since it looks like 1 avocado is only 14 g and the serving size is for 1/2 of an avocado.

      2. So how is that low carb? That’s about 2/3 of my daily allowance. But never mind. These look awesome.

      3. After some more research on avocados (again, I’m not a low carb food blogger, I’m just a huge taco fan!) these would be the carbs, but this is different than the NET carbs. To get that we need to subtract the fiber from the avocados. Which means the NET carbs would be about 3 g.
