Ingredients
  

  • 4 avocados ripe
  • 1 lime juice of
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 onion medium, chopped
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • Kosher salt
  • black pepper freshly ground
  • 2/3 cup shredded Mexican cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1/2 cup grape tomatoes quartered
  • sour cream for topping

Method
 

  1. Halve and pit avocados. Scoop out a bit of avocado with a spoon to create a larger well. Dice the removed avocado and set it aside. Squeeze lime juice over all avocados to prevent browning.
  2. In a medium skillet over medium heat, heat oil. Add onion and cook until tender for about 5 minutes. Add ground beef and taco seasoning, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon. Season with salt and pepper, and cook until the beef is no longer pink, about 6 minutes. Remove from heat and drain the fat.
  3. Fill each avocado half with beef. Then top with the reserved avocado, cheese, lettuce, tomato, and a dollop of sour cream.

Notes

Ingredient Swap: I've found that ground chicken or turkey works beautifully here if you're looking for a lighter option, just make sure to season it well.
Sometimes I even go vegetarian
