Taco night is one of my favorite things to do. I love the combination of textures and flavors that tacos offer. And avocado tacos are one of my favorites because they are so delicious and healthy. They are also a great way to show off your culinary skills because avocado is such a versatile ingredient for dinner ideas.

I don’t know whose dinner idea it was to put taco fixings inside the deliciousness of an avocado recipes, but it’s a brilliant one! The only negative thing about Avocado Tacos is that I didn’t hear about them sooner!

These are healthy and delicious lunch, snack, or appetizer. If you use soy ground round in place of the beef, you can make these vegetarian.

Avocado Tacos provide a tasty and healthy alternative to conventional Mexican food.

To preserve leftover avocado fries, put them in an airtight container and store them in the fridge for a maximum of 3 days, ensuring they are arranged in a row.

Two years ago for Christmas, my mom got me this avocado slicer. She said it was because she knows I love guacamole so much. I thought it was the most ridiculous thing ever. Who needs a special tool to open an avocado?!

Well, fast forward a few months when I decided to give delicious tacos a try. Let me tell you, now I’m that silly lady who uses a special tool to cut avocados!

It’s not so much the cutting an avocado that I use it for as removing the pit. There’s this tool on the back that is specifically for removing the pit. You just jab it in and pull. The pit comes out in one smooth movement.

No wasting parts of the avocado trying to get the pit out. No struggling to scoop out the pit. When it comes time to cut an avocado, I go over to the drawer with my avocado slicer.

I always think of how ridiculous I thought it was when my mom gave it to me. Don’t worry. I’ve called her to let her know how much I appreciate the thoughtfulness of the gift and that I’m actually using it now!

A touch of onion and garlic add lots of flavors.

A family favorite avocado tacos are a great way to start an evening of fun. Avocado is rich and creamy and in just three easy steps you can have these tasty slices of avocado tacos ready for your friends or family members.
