Taco Stuffed Avocados

Serves 4

1 tablespoon avocado oil
8 ounces lean ground turkey
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup low-sodium black beans, rinsed
1/4 cup salsa
2 ripe avocados, halved and pitted
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
1 teaspoon lime juice
4 teaspoons shredded Mexican cheese blend

DIRECTIONS:

1. Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground turkey, onion, chili powder and salt. Cook, stirring with a wooden spoon and breaking up large pieces of turkey, until cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in black beans and salsa.

2. Carve out the flesh of each avocado half with a spoon, leaving about a 1/4-inch border all around. Transfer the scooped flesh to a small bowl. Add cilantro and lime juice; mash with a fork until chunky-smooth.

3. Fill each avocado half with about 1/2 cup of the turkey filling (they will be very full). Top each with 1 teaspoon cheese and some of the guacamole.
