Closet Cooking

Cooking adventures in a small, closet sized, kitchen. - I came to realize that my meals were boring and that I had been eating the same few dishes over and over again for years. It was time for a change! I now spend my free time searching for, creating and trying tasty new recipes in my closet sized kitchen.

Chicken Enchilada Stuffed Avocados

[heart_this] · Sep 7, 2016 · 8 Comments

Chicken Enchilada Stuffed Avocados

Cool and creamy avocados stuffed with chicken enchilada filling!

Today I have a really quick and easy take on chicken and avocado enchiladas where the chicken and avocado enchilada filling is served stuffed in cool and creamy avocados! The recipe is as simple as mixing a mashed avocado with chicken, salsa verde and corn to make the filling which is stuffed into halved avocados. You can make the chicken enchilada mixture however you like so feel free to use a tomato or red chili based sauce instead of the avocado and salsa verde sauce, omit the corn, add beans, etc. Serving the chicken enchiladas in avocados instead of in tortillas is fun, it eliminates the gluten and it makes for a nice light meal!

    I am so happy it is avocado season here, in Florida .. I buy 2 and 3 at a time for pennies. I eat pretty much an avocado a day. Sometimes just plain with salt and sometimes with salads or in a sandwich.
    Tonight the avocado will be the side with a bit of broiled salmon. That's all you need 🙂
