Ingredients
  

2 ripe avocados

1 cup ground beef, turkey, or chicken

1/2 cup canned black beans, rinsed and drained

1 cup diced tomatoes (fresh or canned)

1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped

1/2 cup corn (fresh, canned, or frozen)

1 tsp chili powder

1/2 tsp cumin

1/2 tsp paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/4 cup sour cream

2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped

Lime wedges for serving

Instructions
 

Prepare the Meat: In a medium skillet, cook the ground beef (or turkey/chicken) over medium heat until browned and cooked through. Drain any excess fat.

    Seasoning: Add the black beans, diced tomatoes, corn, red onion, chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Stir to combine and simmer for about 5 minutes until heated through.

      Slice the Avocados: While the mixture is simmering, cut the avocados in half lengthwise, removing the pit. Gently scoop out a small portion of the flesh to create a larger cavity for the filling, and set aside the scooped avocado for another use if desired.

        Fill the Avocados: Once the taco filling is ready, carefully spoon it into each avocado half, packing it tightly.

          Cheesy Goodness: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top of each stuffed avocado.

            Melt the Cheese: Preheat the broiler on your oven. Place the stuffed avocados under the broiler for about 2–3 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and starting to golden. Keep a close eye on them to avoid burning!

              Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and top each mini taco stuffed avocado with a dollop of sour cream, a sprinkle of fresh cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice. Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side.
