Ingredients
  

2 ripe avocados

1 cup ground beef (or a plant-based alternative)

1 small onion, finely chopped

1 clove garlic, minced

1 teaspoon taco seasoning

1/2 cup canned diced tomatoes (with juice)

1/4 cup corn (fresh, frozen, or canned)

1/4 cup black beans, drained and rinsed

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/4 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh cilantro, chopped, for garnish

Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions
 

Prepare the Avocados: Cut the avocados in half and remove the pit. Scoop out a small amount of flesh from each half to create a pocket for the filling. Set the avocado halves aside and place them on a serving platter.

    Cook the Meat Mixture: In a medium skillet, over medium heat, add the chopped onion and cook for about 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

      Add Beef and Seasoning: Add the ground beef (or plant-based alternative) to the skillet. Break it up with a wooden spoon and cook until browned, about 6-8 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary. Stir in the taco seasoning, diced tomatoes, corn, and black beans. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

        Fill the Avocados: Spoon the taco mixture into the hollowed-out avocado halves, filling them generously.

          Top with Cheese and Cream: Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the stuffed avocados, then add a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt on top.

            Garnish and Serve: Finish by garnishing with freshly chopped cilantro. Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
