Recipe Information
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
Instructions
Cut the avocados in half lengthwise and remove the pits.
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.
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.
Add lime juice, olive oil, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to the rice mixture. Stir well until everything is evenly coated and seasoned.
Taste the filling and adjust the seasoning if necessary with additional lime juice, salt, or pepper.
Spoon the seasoned rice mixture into the cavities of the avocado halves, packing it in gently.
Serve immediately as is or garnish with additional cilantro for a touch of color and freshness.
