Stuffed Avocados

I seriously think I could live off avocados.  I probably eat them at least 4-5 times a week, and always love it when I find new avocado recipes.  I had originally found the idea for this from a fellow food blogger (Thanks Kitchen Trial and Error!), but changed it to suit my needs.   

I served the stuffed avocados as a side dish, using just 1 avocado for 2 people.  These would also be great to serve if you have people over for dinner.  They take about 2 minutes to make, but look and taste great!




Ingredients:
avocados (at least 1 per 2 people people)
1 can black beans
salsa 
feta crumblers
fresh mint leaves (chopped)
   






Steps:

1.  Cut the avocados in half the long way.

2.  Use a knife to remove the pit.

3.  Using a small spoon, scoop just a little bit of the avocado out to make the indent bigger.  This way there is more room to fit the filling!

4.  Warm the beans in a microwave safe dish for about 45 seconds.  Then place 2-3 tablespoons of the beans in the avocado "indent."

5.  Top with some salsa.  I have absolutely no spice tolerance so I opted for Newman's Own Mild Tequila Lime.  

6.  Sprinkle with feta crumblers and chopped mint leaves!

  5. "The Sissy" - They definitely NEED to sell avocados in halves. That would be great.

  6. Also...was thinking after eating these again for dinner tonight...we should probably wash the outside before eating the inside, who KNOWS where they have been....even though you aren't eating the outside they still touch the food that's inside. Just another random thought :)
