Ingredients
- 2 whole Avocados
- 1 cup Cooked white or brown rice
- 0.5 cup Black beans
- 0.5 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 0.25 cup Red onion
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Cut the avocados in half lengthwise and remove the pits.
Step 2
Using a spoon, carefully scoop out a bit of the flesh from each avocado half to create a slightly larger cavity for stuffing. Save the scooped avocado flesh for another use.
Step 3
Prepare the filling by combining the cooked rice, black beans, cherry tomatoes (halved or quartered), finely chopped red onion, and chopped cilantro in a mixing bowl.
Step 4
Add lime juice, olive oil, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to the rice mixture. Stir well until everything is evenly coated and seasoned.
Step 5
Taste the filling and adjust the seasoning if necessary with additional lime juice, salt, or pepper.
Step 6
Spoon the seasoned rice mixture into the cavities of the avocado halves, packing it in gently.
Step 7
Serve immediately as is or garnish with additional cilantro for a touch of color and freshness.
