Tips to make the perfectCheesy Chicken Taco Salad Stuffed Avocado Recipe:

• Use a very ripe avocado.
• Pre-cook chicken and let cool.
• Don’t open avocado until ready to eat.
• For the most even flavor, remove avocado from peel, and cut into 1″ cubes, mix with taco skillet, and refill back into peel.
• If making ahead of time, cook taco skillet and refrigerate in an airtight container until ready to serve.
  Reheat in a skillet or the microwave – OR serve cold in the avocado. (This dish is equally delicious cold as it is hot for a taco salad style stuffed avocado!)

To Make ThisCheesy Chicken Taco Salad Stuffed Avocado Recipe You’ll Need:

• Sharp Knife
  • Knife sharp enough to dice chicken and slice vegetables, that is long and heavy enough to put into avocado pit to remove it from avocado.
• Avocado Slicer
  • Easy way to remove avocado from pit and add to chicken tacos. Spoon can be used, but using an avocado slicer will create more even, easy sliced avocado.
• Cutting Boards
• Taco Seasoning
  • If you’re following a strict low carb diet, or want to use your own taco seasoning, you’ll use 2 tbsp of your favorite taco seasoning.
  • If using a pre-packaged taco seasoning pouch, one pouch is about 2 tbsp.
• Large Nonstick Pan
  • For the best pan fried chicken breasts for your chicken tacos, chicken should cook quickly at a high temperature.
  • To get juicy chicken with lovely browning, use a large pan that won’t be crowded when adding chicken and vegetables to it – crowding your pan will cause the chicken and vegetables to boil rather than fry.
