What You’ll Need
Beef Filling
-
2 tsp salt
-
2 tsp pepper
-
2 tsp cumin
-
1 tsp chili powder
-
1–2 tsp onion powder
-
1–2 tsp garlic powder
-
1 tsp paprika
-
1 tsp cayenne (optional)
-
1 tsp oregano
-
1 tsp dried basil
Avocado Boats
-
3–4 ripe avocados
-
Lemon juice (to prevent browning)
-
6 oz mozzarella cheese, shredded
-
Queso cheese, to taste
-
Lettuce and diced tomato, for serving
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 400ºF.
-
Thaw your TriTails ground beef fully and cook it in a skillet over medium-high heat. Break it into small crumbles.
-
Once beef is about ⅔ browned, add all your seasonings and continue cooking until fully browned and flavorful. Turn heat to low.
-
While the beef finishes, prep the avocados:
-
Cut each in half and remove the pit.
-
Scoop out a bit of the center to make room for filling.
-
Brush the outsides with lemon juice to keep them from browning.
-
Place in a greased, oven-safe dish.
-
-
Assemble your boats:
-
Add a bit of mozzarella into the center of each avocado.
-
Spoon in the seasoned beef.
-
Top with warm queso and a little salt and pepper.
-
-
Bake uncovered for 8–10 minutes, just until the cheese melts and the edges start to sizzle.
-
Serve with shredded lettuce and chopped tomatoes—or devour them straight from the pan.
Say your prayers, kiss the cook, and scoop up every bite.
