Ingredients

  • 2 ripe avocados
  • 1 cup cooked chicken (shredded or diced)
  • 1/2 cup salsa (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)
  • Fresh cilantro (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Avocados:
    • Cut the avocados in half and remove the pits. Scoop out a little of the flesh to create more room for the filling. Set aside the scooped avocado for later use.
  2. Make the Filling:
    • In a medium bowl, combine the cooked chicken, salsa, lime juice, sour cream, and a pinch of salt and pepper. If desired, mash in some of the scooped avocado to add creaminess.
  3. Stuff the Avocados:
    • Generously spoon the chicken and salsa mixture into each avocado half. Top with shredded cheese.
  4. Serve:
    • Optionally, place the stuffed avocados under a broiler for 2-3 minutes to melt the cheese slightly. Remove and garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
