Re-stuffed Southwestern Avocados
INGREDIENTS:
-
1 chicken breast, baked and shredded (or use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken)
-
1 ripe avocado, cut in half, seeded and flesh gently removed from skin using a spoon (do not tear skin in order to re-use as the bowl to restuff). Dice avocado after removing from the skin.
-
1 small red pepper, seeds and stem removed, roasted or grilled (we used a panini press) and diced
-
1 whole lime, juiced
-
2 tablespoons sour cream, or more to taste
-
2 tablespoons mild salsa with no sugar added, or more to taste
-
Grated cheese of choice for topping (we used sharp cheddar)
DIRECTIONS:
-
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
-
Mix shredded chicken, diced red pepper, sour cream, salsa, lime and diced avocado until evenly combined.
-
Stuff the avocado skins evenly with chicken mixture and top with grated cheese.
-
Bake for about 8 minutes, or until cheese on top is melted and beginning to brown.
