Hasselback Tex-Mex Avocados

Hasselback Tex-Mex Avocados

Ingredients

• 2 firm ripe avocados, halved, pitted and peeled
• 1 medium plum tomato, halved lengthwise, seeded and thinly sliced
• 1 tablespoon avocado oil or olive oil
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• ½ teaspoon chili powder
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon ground pepper
• 2 tablespoons crumbled queso blanco
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

Directions

1. Place avocado halves cut-side down on a cutting board. Make crosswise cuts every ¼ inch along each half, slicing almost to the bottom but not all the way through. Carefully transfer the avocados to a serving platter. Fill each cut with a slice of tomato, skin-side up.
2. Combine oil, lime juice, chili powder, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Drizzle over the avocados. Top with cheese and cilantro.
