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:
- ⅔ cups shredded Mexican cheese
- ½ cup quartered grape tomatoes
- ½ cup sour cream
Instructions
- 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.
- In a medium pan, heat oil over medium heat and saute onion until soft (about 5 minutes). Add ground beef and fry until brown.
- Add taco seasoning and water and cook over low heat for 5 minutes.
- Season with salt and pepper as needed.
- Remove from heat and let cool a little.
- 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.
