Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 Large avocados
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 cup Red onion
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Divide the shredded cheddar cheese into four equal portions. Place each portion on the baking sheet forming a tall mound.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 5-7 minutes, until the cheese is melted and golden brown on the edges.
Remove the cheese mounds from the oven and let cool for about 1-2 minutes. Carefully lift each cheese round with a spatula and drape over a wooden spoon handle, creating a taco shell shape. Allow them to cool and harden.
While the cheese taco shells are cooling, halve the avocados, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl.
Add lime juice, salt, and black pepper to the avocados. Mash the mixture with a fork until combined but still chunky.
Quarter the cherry tomatoes and dice the red onion. Chop the fresh cilantro.
In a small bowl, combine the tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, ground cumin, and remaining lime juice. Stir gently.
Once the cheese taco shells are firm, fill each one with the mashed avocado mixture.
Top with the tomato-onion-cilantro mix.
Finish each taco with a dollop of sour cream.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low-carb avocado tacos!
