Spicy Chipotle Beef Taco Stuffed Avocado Recipe

This delicious and healthy recipe for spicy chipotle beef taco stuffed avocados is an easy low-carb, high-protein healthy meal that comes together in only 15 minutes. Made with Laura’s 92% Lean Ground Beef and fresh natural ingredients it’s an easy meal perfect for busy weeknights.

I’m all about making delicious healthy recipes that don’t require slaving in the kitchen. That is why this recipe for taco stuffed avocados is one of my favorites. I make it at least a couple of times a month and it’s perfect for when I don’t have a lot of time to cook. And the best part is that this recipe is delicious and also good for you!

To make this recipe even healthier I used Laura’s 92% Lean Ground Beef. Unlike most other “natural” beef, Laura’s Lean products is a “Never Ever” offering, meaning that Laura’s Lean protein is sourced from suppliers that raise their cattle without ever using added hormones or antibiotics and are always vegetarian fed.

There are so many benefits when you use Laura’s Lean ground beef in your recipes! And because Laura’s Lean meets such strict USDA standards to qualify as lean you know that each 4oz serving of Laura’s Lean ground beef contains less than 10g of fat, 4.5g or less of saturated fat and less than 95mg of cholesterol per 100g serving.

The taste of the spicy, warm beef taco filling with the freshness and smoothness of the avocado are a match made in heaven.

If your kids don’t like spicy food, or if you don’t like spicy food, (I’m not judging) you can omit the chipotle. And you can always have the chipotle powder at the table so everyone can add as much or as little as they like.
