Ingredients
- 1 large ripe avocado (~175g) halved and pitted
- 3 ounces taco-seasoned ground beef cooked
- 1.5 ounces shredded cheddar or other cheese
- 2 tablespoons low carb salsa
- 2-3 teaspoons lime juice optional (see notes)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine beef, salsa, and about half of the shredded cheese.
- If needed, scoop out a little avocado from each half to make room for the filling. Add this extra avocado to your taco filling mixture along with 1 teaspoon of the lime juice and stir to combine.
- Sprinkle the prepared avocado halves with lime juice. Divided filling evenly between the two avocado halves. Top with remaining shredded cheese.
- Air Fryer Method: Place taco stuffed avocados in air fryer, and cook at 370F for 4-6 minutes or until cheese is melted and filling is heated through.
- Broiler Method: Place taco stuffed avocados on a baking sheet lined with foil or parchment paper. Place under broiler for 3-5 minutes, or until cheese is melted and filling is heated through.
- Oven Method: Place taco stuffed avocados on a baking sheet lined with foil or parchment paper. Bake at 425F for 6-8 minutes, or until cheese is melted and filling is heated through.
- Serve immediately. If desired, add additional toppings like sour cream, pico de gallo, and/or fresh cilantro.
Notes
- The lime juice both adds flavor and prevents browning. Browning shouldn't be an issue if you plan to eat these keto taco stuffed avocados immediately, but I still recommend using it.
- Most decent salsa should be low enough in carbs to work here, just make sure to check for added sugars and fillers.
- This is a great use for those taco Tuesday leftovers! With that in mind, it should work fine with other meats (chicken, barbacoa, etc.) as well.
