Inside Out Stuffed Avocados Food

TACO STUFFED AVOCADOS

Steps:

• Add the ground beef to a medium size sauce pan. Cook over medium heat until browned.
• Drain the grease and add the seasonings and the tomato sauce. Stir to combine. Cook for about 3-4 minutes.
• Remove the pit from the halved avocados. Load the crater left from the pit with the taco meat. Top with cheese, tomatoes, lettuce, cilantro and sour cream.
• If you want to make a larger area in the avocado for the toppings, spoon out some of the avocado and set aside to make guacamole! Then fill with toppings.

CRAB-STUFFED AVOCADOS

Steps:

• To make the crab mix, flake the crabmeat into a small bowl and mix in the mustard and oil, then season to taste. Can be made the day ahead. Add the basil and chilli just before serving.
• To serve, halve and stone the avocados. Fill each cavity with a quarter of the crab mix, scatter with a few of the smaller basil leaves and eat with teaspoons.

SEAFOOD STUFFED AVOCADOS

Steps:

• In a bowl, mix the crab, shrimp, cucumber, mayonnaise, and parsley. Season with salt, and pepper. Cover, and chill until serving.
• Slice the avocados lengthwise, and remove the pit. Scoop out the flesh of the avocado, leaving about 1/2 inch on the peel. Spoon the seafood mixture into the hollowed centers of the avocado halves. Sprinkle the tops with paprika.

INSIDE-OUT STUFFED PEPPERS

Steps:

• In a large skillet, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Transfer to a greased 2-qt. casserole. Add the next 8 ingredients. , Cover and bake at 350° until the rice is tender, about 1 hour. Uncover and sprinkle with cheese; cook until cheese is melted, about 5 minutes longer.

CHICKEN STUFFED BAKED AVOCADO

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Slice the avocados in half lengthwise, remove the pits, and use a spoon to carefully scoop the flesh out. Mash the avocado with the back of a fork, or in a food processor, and place into a mixing bowl.
• Add the shredded chicken, green onions, bacon pieces, salt and pepper, cream cheese, chili powder and cumin to the bowl, and mix until well blended.
• Fill the empty avocado shells with the filling, and place into a well greased baking dish.
• Sprinkle with the shredded cheese and bake for 15-20 minutes.

WARM STUFFED AVOCADOS

Steps:

• Heat grill to hot. Halve the avocados and discard the stones. Brush each half with ½ tsp of the olive oil and arrange on a baking sheet. Grill for 5 mins.
• In a small bowl, toss together all of the remaining ingredients. Season to taste, then divide between the hollows of each avocado. Serve immediately.

STUFFED AVOCADOS WITH SUIZA SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine the chicken thighs, rotel, bouillon cube, water and taco seasoning in a deep pan. Heat to boiling, then cover and reduce heat. Cook for 1 hour, stirring occasionally to break up the chunks of chicken and "shred" them. After 1 hour, remove lid and continue to simmer and stir to shred chicken until all the liquid has cooked down.
• Allow chicken mixture to cool completely (I put mine in the freezer to speed up the process). This recipe is for 2 stuffed avocado patties, there will be plenty of leftover chicken though (I use it for burrito and taco filling, or in burrito bowls, yum!).
• Portion out 2 patties of chicken, (as big or small as you'd like, but I made mine about 2 large handfuls worth).
• Mash the two avocados, (and this is the messy part) and put a coating of mashed avocados on top of each patty. Place in the freezer to harden for a few minutes.
• Remove hardened patties from the freezer and turn over. Put a coating of mashed avocados on the other side of the patty.
• Heat vegetable oil to medium high heat in a deep frying pan.
• Carefully roll the avocado coated chicken patties in flour until well coated and try to shape them into perfectly round shapes.
• Combine the egg and buttermilk in a bowl and whisk thoroughly.
• Carefully dip (or pat on, as I did) the buttermilk mixture onto the patties.
• Dip the battered patties into the panko crumbs until thoroughly coated.
• Carefully place the breaded patties into the hot oil and fry both sides until golden brown (about 2 minutes or so per side, but keep an eye on them- they cook fast!). Remove and transfer to a paper towel lined plate.
• Combine the verde enchilada sauce and the sour cream thoroughly in a microwave safe bowl and heat for about 2 minutes, or until heated through.
• Pour a generous amount of the verde sauce over the patties and top with shredded cheese. Don't worry, the patties will still stay pretty crispy.
• Serve with borracho beans and green chili rice (from this site) and enjoy!

CAPRESE STUFFED AVOCADO

Steps:

• Combine tomatoes, mozzarella balls, pesto, garlic, olive oil, salt and pepper in a bowl. Toss well to evenly combine all of the flavours.
• Arrange prepared avocado halves onto a plate with fresh basil leaves.
• Spoon the Caprese filling into each avocado halve and drizzle with balsamic glaze. Top with chopped fresh basil. Serve immediately.

CREOLE CRAB STUFFED AVOCADOS

Steps:

• Steam the rice and let it cool.
• In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, mustard, salt & pepper, lemon juice, ketchup and tabasco.
• Cut the avocados in half and scoop out the inside, leaving a small amount all around the skin to keep it sturdy. Set aside the skins.
• Dice the avocado.
• Sitr together the crab, mayonnaise mixture and the cooled rice. Then fold in the avocado and tomatoes. Taste the mixture and add any additional salt/pepper or seasoning that you like.
• Fill each avocado half with the prepared mixture, sprinkle with chopped herbs and refrigerate until serving.

INSIDE OUT STUFFED AVOCADOS

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium heat.
• Using the tip of a paring knife, cut off a sliver of the skin from the rounded side of each avocado half, so they will lay flat on your serving platter. Score the flesh side of each avocado half in a cross-hatch pattern. Brush the inside of the avocado halves with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place the avocado halves cut-side down on the grill for 1 minute 30 seconds. Turn the avocado halves 90 degrees to get cross-hatch grill marks and cook for another 1 minute 30 seconds. Remove from the grill and place, grilled-side up, on a large platter.
• Stir together the tomatoes, garlic, jalapeno, onion, cilantro, vinegar, salt and pepper in a mixing bowl. Set aside for assembly.
• Whisk together the sour cream, agave, lime juice and hot sauce in a small mixing bowl to form the crema.
• Mound about 2 heaping tablespoons of the vegetable mixture into each avocado half. Drizzle the margarita crema over the avocados. Sprinkle the tortilla chips on top. Serve immediately.

LOADED BAKED AVOCADOS

Steps:

• Preheat broiler with rack about 8 inches from heat source. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil. Cut avocados in half lengthwise; remove and discard pits. Scoop the flesh from the avocados into large pieces, keeping the shell halves intact.
• Toss the avocado flesh, salt and 1/4 cup cheese together in a medium bowl. Spoon the mixture evenly into the avocado shells; top evenly with the remaining 1/4 cup cheese. Arrange the stuffed avocado halves on the prepared baking sheet. Broil until the cheese is melted, about 3 minutes.
• Top each avocado half with 1 tablespoon sour cream. Sprinkle evenly with crumbled bacon, chives and pepper. Serve warm.
