This delicious and healthy recipe for spicy chipotle beef taco stuffed avocados is an easy low-carb, high-protein healthy meal that comes together in only 15 minutes. Made with ground beef and fresh natural ingredients it’s an easy meal perfect for busy weeknights.

I’m all about making delicious healthy recipes that don’t require slaving in the kitchen. That is why this recipe for taco stuffed avocados is one of my favorites. I make it at least a couple of times a month and it’s perfect for when I don’t have a lot of time to cook. And the best part is that this recipe is delicious and also good for you!

To make this recipe even healthier, I used 92% lean ground beef. It’s a great option for a leaner protein, offering all the flavor without the extra fat. Pairing it with fresh ingredients and a balance of seasonings ensures a delicious and wholesome meal.

The combination of the spicy, warm beef taco filling and the creamy, fresh avocado is already a match made in heaven. But how do you take these tacos from delicious to absolutely unforgettable? Simple—add the tastiest, hottest hot sauce around! With the perfect kick of heat, these tacos will be the talk of the town for years to come.

If your kids don’t like spicy food, or if you don’t like spicy food, (I’m not judging) you can omit the chipotle. And you can always have the chipotle powder at the table so everyone can add as much or as little as they like.

Ingredients to Make Spicy Chipotle Beef Taco Stuffed Avocados

For this recipe, you’ll need lean ground beef as the main protein base. You’ll also need ripe Hass avocados to stuff, which provide a creamy texture that complements the spicy beef filling. Fresh diced red onion and tomato add crunch and freshness to balance the richness of the beef and avocado. Taco seasoning brings in that signature flavor, while chipotle powder adds a smoky, spicy kick—perfect for those who enjoy a bit of heat. For finishing touches, queso fresco provides a salty creaminess, and fresh chives offer a pop of color and mild onion flavor. You’ll also need a bit of water to help bring everything together into a saucy filling.

Tips for the Best Spicy Chipotle Beef Taco Stuffed Avocados:

Making the perfect Spicy Chipotle Beef Taco Stuffed Avocados is all about using the right techniques to get that perfect taco filling and avocado combination. Follow these tips to elevate the flavors and ensure a perfectly balanced, flavorful dish every time you make it!

• Choose ripe avocados: Make sure your avocados are ripe but not overly soft, as this will help them hold up when you stuff them with the beef filling.
• Don’t overcook the beef: Brown the ground beef just until it’s fully cooked. Overcooking can make it dry, so keep an eye on it.
• Adjust the spice: If you prefer a milder flavor, start with less chipotle powder and add more as needed. You can always serve extra hot sauce on the side for those who like it extra spicy.
• Make it ahead: The beef mixture can be cooked ahead of time and stored in the fridge. Just reheat when you’re ready to assemble your tacos for a quicker meal.

Variations:

While this recipe is delicious as is, it’s also incredibly versatile! Whether you want to swap the protein or add extra toppings, these taco stuffed avocados can be customized to suit different tastes and dietary preferences. Here are some great variations to try!

• Vegetarian Option: Swap the ground beef for a plant-based protein like crumbled tofu, tempeh, or black beans to make this dish vegetarian or vegan-friendly.
• Add more toppings: Customize your taco-stuffed avocados with extra toppings like salsa, sour cream, or even a squeeze of lime juice for added flavor.
• Try different cheese: If you don’t have queso fresco, try crumbled feta or shredded cheddar for a different twist.
• Add greens: For a lighter version, you can serve the beef filling over a bed of greens instead of using avocado halves for a taco salad option.
