Chili-Lime Sausage Stuffed Avocados | Zesty Appetizer
directions
- Over medium heat brown sausage, crumbling with a spoon as it cooks. Sprinkle with half the chili lime seasoning and blend into sausage crumbles well. Remove from heat and scrape into a bowl.
- Scrape the avocado out of the shells into a small bowl. Set empty shells aside for filling. Add lime juice, salt and black pepper and cilantro to the avocado and stir together, breaking up avocado as you stir.
- Fill each avocado shell about 2/3 full with avocado mixture, pressing down into shells with the back of a spoon. If you have any avocado mixture leftover then just serve it on the side with some chips!
- Divide sausage crumble between avocado halves, pressing down into shell a bit. Sprinkle crumbled cheese on top, scatter some lettuce and tomatoes over all. Sprinkle with remaining chili lime seasoning.
