Provided by Food Network

Time 30m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 semi-ripe avocados, halved
Olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pint grape tomatoes, quartered
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 jalapeno, finely diced
1/2 small red onion, finely diced (about 1/4 cup)
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar
1/4 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon agave nectar
Juice of 1 lime
Hot sauce, to taste
1 cup tortilla chips, crushed

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill to medium heat.
  • Using the tip of a paring knife, cut off a sliver of the skin from the rounded side of each avocado half, so they will lay flat on your serving platter. Score the flesh side of each avocado half in a cross-hatch pattern. Brush the inside of the avocado halves with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place the avocado halves cut-side down on the grill for 1 minute 30 seconds. Turn the avocado halves 90 degrees to get cross-hatch grill marks and cook for another 1 minute 30 seconds. Remove from the grill and place, grilled-side up, on a large platter.
  • Stir together the tomatoes, garlic, jalapeno, onion, cilantro, vinegar, salt and pepper in a mixing bowl. Set aside for assembly.
  • Whisk together the sour cream, agave, lime juice and hot sauce in a small mixing bowl to form the crema.
  • Mound about 2 heaping tablespoons of the vegetable mixture into each avocado half. Drizzle the margarita crema over the avocados. Sprinkle the tortilla chips on top. Serve immediately.

He is also a cookbook author & owner of award-winning restaurants in Miami, Philadelphia, Scottsdale & Chicago. This recipe shares his fondness for the Thanksgiving holiday, his memories of his apron-clad grandmother cooking in their Miami kitchen & his Cuban heritage. (Times have been estimated. 20 min was allowed for ingredient prep & the overall times reflect only the time spent getting the stuffing ready for the turkey or the oven.) *Enjoy* !

Recipe from www.letscookfrench.com and posted here for ZWT5. NOTE: after making this recipe, I have made some edits to the original recipe (it had too much mayo and it didn't give enough direction for the avocados).

Categories     Crab

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 avocados, not overly ripe
2 tablespoons rice
10 crab sticks, chopped (I actually used canned crab)
2 tablespoons chopped tomatoes
2 -3 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 teaspoon mustard
3 drops Tabasco sauce
1 tablespoon ketchup
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon finely chopped herbs (chives, thyme, basil or whatever you like)
salt & pepper

Steps:

  • Steam the rice and let it cool.
  • In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, mustard, salt & pepper, lemon juice, ketchup and tabasco.
  • Cut the avocados in half and scoop out the inside, leaving a small amount all around the skin to keep it sturdy. Set aside the skins.
  • Dice the avocado.
  • Sitr together the crab, mayonnaise mixture and the cooled rice. Then fold in the avocado and tomatoes. Taste the mixture and add any additional salt/pepper or seasoning that you like.
  • Fill each avocado half with the prepared mixture, sprinkle with chopped herbs and refrigerate until serving.

Tips:

  • Choose perfectly ripe avocados: The avocados should be yielding to gentle pressure but not too soft. Unripe avocados will be difficult to scoop out and may not have the best flavor, while overripe avocados will be mushy and difficult to work with.
  • Use fresh, flavorful fillings: The fillings are what will really make your stuffed avocados shine, so be sure to use high-quality ingredients. Fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices will all add flavor and vibrancy to the dish.
  • Don't overfill the avocados: You want the avocados to be filled, but not so full that they're bursting at the seams. Otherwise, the filling may spill out when you eat the avocados.
  • Serve immediately: Stuffed avocados are best enjoyed immediately after they're made. The avocados will start to brown after a few hours, so it's best to eat them while they're still fresh.

Conclusion:

Cuban stuffed avocados are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or light meal. They're perfect for parties or potlucks, and they're also a great way to use up leftover chicken, shrimp, or vegetables. With so many different variations to choose from, you're sure to find a Cuban stuffed avocado recipe that you'll love.
