Do you have times when you just crave avocado? No? I sure do.
Guacamole is one of my all time favorite snacks. It’s hard to believe that only a few years ago I wouldn’t even try avocados and now, I’m a full pledged avocado addict.
Last week, a reader made my guacamole recipe and shared it on Instagram. They tagged me in it to show me and it looked so good that ever since then, all I could think of is getting avocados and making some guacamole. Coincidentally, I was making my son’s favorite white turkey chili the same day and I got a delicious thought that avocados and turkey would be a great combination in a taco. I was not wrong!
These Avocado Turkey Tacos are a great light dinner option. They are quite filling yet lean and full of veggies. I thought it would be fun to make a cheesy double taco but it’s completely optional. Double tacos are two types of taco shells, soft and hard, “glued” together by melted cheese. I love the combination of cheesy, soft and crunchy together, it adds an interesting flavor and texture to the dish.
But like I said, it’s completely optional. If you don’t want to take extra time making these double taco shells, or if you don’t want to add extra calories to these light tacos, you can just use the hard taco shells and add a little Mexican cheese mix on the bottom, under turkey.
