Avo Tacos

In honor of Taco Tuesday, a healthier alternative to consider!

'Avo Tacos'

Makes 6 halves 

::Ingredients::

• 3 medium ripe avocados 

• Juice of 2 fresh limes

• 1 lb. ground meat of choice (consider using grass-fed beef, Tiesha's suggestion: An alternative would be to use ground turkey for a leaner option)

• 1/2 of a yellow onion, diced 

Homemade taco seasoning:

       Side note: You will only use about half of this mix per pound of meat, or to taste

• 1/2 Tbsp chili powder 

• 1/8 tsp garlic powder 

• 1/8 tsp onion powder 

• 1/8 tsp crushed red pepper flakes 

• 1/8 tsp dried oregano 

• 1/4 tsp paprika 

• 1 tsp cumin powder 

• 1/2 tsp sea salt 

• 1/2 tsp black pepper

::Directions::

1. Halve avocados, brush with fresh lime juice, sprinkle with sea salt if desired.
2. Brown meat with the onion in a skillet over medium heat. Once cooked through, drain well. 
3. Add homemade taco seasoning (I add a sprinkle at a time, and taste test until it's right) and 1 Tbsp hot water. 
4. Simmer for 1-2 minutes until flavors combine.
5. Scoop hot meat into avocados.
6. Allow each person to top their Avo-Taco as they wish

Fresh taco toppings of choice:

• diced tomatoes 

• fresh pico

• cilantro 

• olives 

Happy Eating!
