I’m so excited to be sharing one of my favorite meals! This one is less of a recipe, since the toppings should vary based on your own personal taste. I will be sharing my own AvoTaco formula, but this can easily be adapted to fit everyone’s dietary preferences.

I don’t know about you, but my favorite taco topping has always been guacamole. I’m not gonna lie, I’ve eaten guacamole straight out of a bowl with a spoon, like pudding. No shame. I reallllly love the stuff. So when I discovered the incredible art of stuffing avocados with various ingredients, I knew I had to try it with tacos. It’s basically like having de-constructed guacamole, plus beans and cheese. How can it go wrong?

Ingredients

• 4 ripe avocados
• 1 can of vegetarian refried beans
• 1/2 of a packet of gluten free McCormick Taco Seasoning
• Sliced olives
• Salsa
• Shredded cheese (omit if vegan or dairy free)

Instructions

1. Cut all the avocados in half and scoop out some of the insides to form a bowl. Save the scooped out pieces for step 2.
   
2.  In a small saucepan, mix the refried beans, taco seasoning, and scooped out avocado pieces. Heat on medium until warm. Optional: mix in some shredded cheese in this step if you’re a cheese addict like me!
3. Once the bean mixture is heated, divide it up into the avocado halves. Top it all off with the rest of your favorite toppings!
4. For extra flavor, squeeze some fresh lime juice over the top.

Serves 4 – or one whole avocado per person.
