Ah, avocado tacos! 🌮🥑 They’re creamy, fresh, and satisfying—plus super easy to make. Here’s a simple way to prepare them:
Ingredients (for 2–3 tacos)
- 1 ripe avocado
- 2–3 small corn or flour tortillas
- 1 small tomato, diced
- ÂĽ small red onion, finely chopped
- Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 lime (juice)
- Salt & pepper to taste
- Optional: crumbled feta or cotija cheese, hot sauce, or sliced radishes for crunch
Instructions
- Prep the avocado: Cut it in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash lightly with a fork, leaving it a bit chunky.
- Season: Add a squeeze of lime juice, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Mix gently.
- Warm the tortillas: Heat them on a dry skillet for 30–60 seconds per side until slightly charred and pliable.
- Assemble tacos: Spread mashed avocado on each tortilla, then top with tomato, onion, cilantro, and cheese if using.
- Finish: Add a dash of hot sauce or an extra squeeze of lime for zing.
Tips
- For extra texture, lightly pan-fry the avocado slices before adding them to the taco.
- Add beans or roasted veggies for a more filling version.
- You can also sprinkle a little smoked paprika or chili powder on the avocado for a flavor kick.
