Southwestern Stuffed Avocado Recipe

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Have a deliciously simple, protein-packed breakfast when you make this Southwestern Stuffed Avocado! Ready in under 15 minutes! | asimplepantry.comI may or may not be obsessed with the concept of stuffed avocado. It’s just fun, and cool, and of course, delicious. You may have seen me on Snapchat (@asimplepantry) last week when I made a super simple garlic shrimp stuffed avocado, and again this morning as I made this breakfast right here. It’s full of my fave southwest flavors, so it seems only fitting to call it Southwestern Stuffed Avocado.

It sounds a lot more appetizing than the plain ol’ egg stuffed avocados I was calling them on Snapchat. I wasn’t being terribly creative at the time with my words. It happens. So sue me.

But don’t actually, OK? OK.

    I love avocados – any time of day – and this breakfast dish looks amazing! I live in south Texas now (only 7 months), and the avocados are so inexpensive and I can always find ripe ones. I’m pinning!

      , screw him. Leave him there to fend for himself. You wouldn’t last a minute in any hostile(or even grade school playground) situation. The real question that still lingers: How often did you get beat up as a kid? My guess is “often”. Hide with the Libs and you won’t have to worry about that now. they are all scared of each other and it has created a “standoff”.Reply

    I love this idea! Avocado and eggs go so well together, and all that protein and healthy fat would keep me full all morning. Can’t wait to try!

    I love avocado for breakfast. I’ll eat them plain or with eggs stuffed into a tortilla, but who needs the tortilla when you can use the avocado!

    I could eat this for breakfast every morning! I usually have avocado toast with an egg on top. I love eliminating the toast and stuffing everything into the avocado. Cant wait to make this for the whole family.

    Karly–eggs and avocado are a fabulous combo. And I love that you added Herdez sauce–they have SO much flavor!
