These taco stuffed avocados are actually going on our dinner rotation this week. It’s a win, win because we all love my taco meat recipe, and we love avocados. And, since we over-indulged over the holidays we are cutting back on the carbs. Of course, avocados are loaded with good-for-you fats so they are much healthier than serving on a taco shell. And the portions are really filling, I couldn’t even finish the two.

For my daughter Madison, I’ll make hers on either flour or corn tortillas, or maybe even tostada shells.

Tips and Variations:

  • Look for smaller haas avocados that usually come 4 in a pack. Those typically yield 4 ounces of avocado once you remove the skin and pit.
  • The pit has a small well once removed, so I spoon a bigger opening to allow more filling in each, and simply take the extra and spoon it on top.
  • If you want to try this with chicken, this crock pot salsa chicken works great.
  • Don’t like turkey? Swap it for ground beef or chicken instead.

To Meal Prep

To Make this for meal prep, make the turkey ahead and refrigerate up to 4 days. If prepping for lunch, divide the remaining ingredients in small containers and heat the turkey separate. Cut the avocado just before you’re ready to eat. The avocado should be room temp and the taco meat should be warm.

Taco meat can also be frozen for up to 3 months.
