Ingredients
Scale
2 large ripe avocados
1 lb ground beef
1 tbsp olive oil
1 packet sugar-free taco seasoning
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup sour cream
2 tbsp chopped cilantro
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain excess fat.
Stir in the sugar-free taco seasoning and water. Simmer for 5 minutes until the liquid reduces slightly.
Halve the avocados lengthwise and remove the pits. Scoop out a small amount of the avocado flesh from the center of each half to make more room for the filling. Mash the scooped-out flesh and mix it into the taco meat filling.
Spoon the meat mixture evenly into the four avocado halves.
Top each stuffed avocado half with shredded cheddar cheese. Place on a baking sheet.
Bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven. Top with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro before serving.
Notes
Use a store-bought sugar-free taco seasoning or make your own blend of chili powder, cumin, onion powder, garlic powder, and oregano.
For extra fat, mix 1 tablespoon of cream cheese into the meat filling before stuffing.
If you prefer not to bake, you can serve the filling warm over the raw avocado halves.
