  • 1 pound Ground Beef cooked and drained well
  • 1/2 tablespoon Onion Powder
  • 1 ounce Taco Seasoning powder

Instructions

  • To prepare the avocados, scoop out a small amount of avocado from each avocado shell with a spoon and squeeze a small amount of lime juice over each to prevent the avocado from browning quickly. Make sure the lime juice covers the green portion of each avocado.
  • Fill each avocado with enough taco filling to almost overflow.
  • Top each with lettuce, grape tomatoes, and cheese. Add any preferred toppings.
  • Serve while ground beef is still warm with lime wedges for added flavor.
