Tips:

  • Choose ripe avocados with dark green skin and no blemishes. Slightly firm avocados are better for stuffing as they will hold their shape better.
  • To easily scoop out the avocado flesh, cut it in half lengthwise, twist the two halves apart, and use a spoon to scoop out the flesh, leaving about 1/4 inch of avocado around the skin.
  • The quinoa-corn-tomato filling can be made ahead of time and refrigerated for up to 3 days. This makes it a great option for meal prepping.
  • If you don't have fresh corn on the cob, you can use frozen or canned corn. Just be sure to thaw or drain the corn before using it.
  • Feel free to customize the filling to your liking. You can add other vegetables, such as diced bell pepper, zucchini, or mushrooms. You can also add a different type of grain, such as rice or barley.
  • Serve the stuffed avocados immediately, or chill them for later. They are a great option for a light lunch, dinner, or snack.

Conclusion:

These stuffed avocados are a delicious and healthy way to enjoy this versatile fruit. They are packed with nutrients, including healthy fats, fiber, and vitamins. They are also a good source of antioxidants, which can help protect your cells from damage. So next time you're looking for a healthy and satisfying snack or meal, give these stuffed avocados a try. You won't be disappointed!
