Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large avocados, halved and pits removed
- 1 cup cooked shredded chicken
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered
- 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup bell pepper, diced (any color)
- 1/4 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite)
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium bowl, combine shredded chicken, cherry tomatoes, red onion, bell pepper, shredded cheese, cilantro, lime juice, olive oil, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Place avocado halves in a baking dish or on a baking sheet, nestling them to keep them from tipping.
- Spoon the chicken mixture evenly into each avocado half, mounding slightly.
- Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the avocados are tender and the filling is heated through.
- Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving. Garnish with extra cilantro if desired.
Notes
- Add extras like corn, black beans, diced jalapeños, or sour cream to customize your filling.
- Best served warm, but leftovers can be stored in the fridge and gently reheated.
- For extra cheesiness, sprinkle additional cheese on top before baking.
