Avocado Tacos

  4.3 – 138 reviews  • Mexican

This dish makes a fantastic starter. I experimented with ingredients for a very long period before deciding that the recipe you currently see was the best. The grits give the tangy flavors of the Asiago and Parmesan cheeses a distinctive texture.

These are so good. I drizzle sweet and sour sauce over the finished product nixing any salsa or taco sauce.
Derek Dudley
it was really quick and very tasty. good for the DASH diet my husband follows. I will make this again very soon.
Michael Zimmerman
Was really good but not enough food for a main dish. Needed more to fill my husband and I up. Plus next time I’ll add tomato’s and salsa to the top. But so good.
Stephen Dixon
i mixed in some lime juice and restaurant style salsa. EXCELLENT!
Chelsea Buck
We loved this recipe! Made it exactly as the recipe called for and this is now a staple for me family
Amy Miller
These were delicious. I put my oven on 400 to crisp up the tortillas, and that worked great. I served this with salmon patties. The freshness of the guacamole and cilantro went very well with them!
Taylor Salazar
Delicious and simple!

The recipe is a good start, but it needs a bit more. I added diced tomatoes to give it more texture, mozarella cheese, and dripped cholula sauce onto the tacos for some great flavor.
Billy Davidson
Didn’t have any flavor. Was pretty much guacamole on a tortilla shell. But less flavor.
Kristen Ortiz
Avocado mix was really good. Did not use hot sauce and added 1/4 squeezed lime. Added cumin and a little green chili to beans. Served with tomatoes, lettuce, salsa, cheese and lime slices to squeeze over taco. Nice and Fresh

Firstly, I’d like to say that this recipe has a lot of potential. I followed the recipe exactly when making the avocado mixture, and it’s definitely not bad. It’s pretty much guacamole, and while it’s on the plainer side, it’s still enjoyable. After trying it as is, I added hot sauce, tomato, & lime juice. I couldn’t really get behind having tacos with only guac for filling, and I knew that going into this, so I made a corn, spinach, yellow squash, onion, and black bean fajita mixture and used that & some cheese to accompany the avocado mixture. Really delicious!
Jessica Nicholson
Quick and easy with three of my favorites, avocado, cilantro and onions. Thank you VALKARYN.
Kelly Decker
It was nice and easy to make. Not excellent but nice. The kids didn’t like it.
Elizabeth Vasquez
It was very good but it does need some extra toppings.

Samantha Gonzalez
I loved the avocado tacos…so did my kids! I added black beans and tomatoes.
Natalie Walters
Great base for tacos.
Julie Hebert
This is basically a taco with guacamole as the filling. Its quite good as a very light lunch or snack but it doesn’t have a lot of heft…the flavors are quite good but If you want this as a meal I would recommend adding some black beans to make it more filling. Thanks for sharing!
Michael Armstrong
These were amazing. Easy and quick to make. I followed another reviewer’s advice and brushed the tortillas with a mix of olive oil and lime juice. Mixed some of the cilantro in with the avocado and garlic salt. Paired it with sour cream, hot sauce, tequila lime salsa, and monterey jack cheese. So good we made more for lunch the next day! Definitely going in our favorites folder. I’d love to try them with other toppings in the future, maybe some beans or even a little meat. I imagine they’d be a good appetizer or party snack as well.
Michael Johnson
Not horrible – bland! Not sure exactly what is missing. It’s just not for me.
Katie Gibbs
As is, I would rate the recipe four stars – but it does make a great base recipe to adjust to individual taste. I made these for lunch today with a blend of tomato and onion (basically a pico de gallo once the cilantro was mixed in), with some garlic powder and salt. Definitely a keeper of a recipe for its flexibility. Yum!
