TRUDY'S STUFFED AVOCADOS

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Slice the avocado down the middle and remove the pit and skin. Fill the hollow left by the pit with the chicken. Put the 2 halves of the avocado back together. Place the buttermilk in a shallow dish, the flour in another shallow dish and the cracker crumbs in a third dish. Carefully holding the avocado together (it's slippery), dip it first in the buttermilk then roll it in the flour to coat completely. Dip it again in the buttermilk and roll it in the cracker crumbs until completely covered. Heat about 4 cups of oil in a deep saucepan over medium-high heat. Deep-fry the avocado until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Remove the avocado with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Place the avocado in a shallow casserole and press firmly to flatten just a little. Cover the avocado with the green chile sauce and Cheddar and Jack cheeses and place in the oven until the cheese melts, about 10 minutes. Serve with rice and beans. This recipe yields 2 servings.

Steps:
- Combine the chicken thighs, rotel, bouillon cube, water and taco seasoning in a deep pan. Heat to boiling, then cover and reduce heat. Cook for 1 hour, stirring occasionally to break up the chunks of chicken and "shred" them. After 1 hour, remove lid and continue to simmer and stir to shred chicken until all the liquid has cooked down.
- Allow chicken mixture to cool completely (I put mine in the freezer to speed up the process). This recipe is for 2 stuffed avocado patties, there will be plenty of leftover chicken though (I use it for burrito and taco filling, or in burrito bowls, yum!).
- Portion out 2 patties of chicken, (as big or small as you'd like, but I made mine about 2 large handfuls worth).
- Mash the two avocados, (and this is the messy part) and put a coating of mashed avocados on top of each patty. Place in the freezer to harden for a few minutes.
- Remove hardened patties from the freezer and turn over. Put a coating of mashed avocados on the other side of the patty.
- Heat vegetable oil to medium high heat in a deep frying pan.
- Carefully roll the avocado coated chicken patties in flour until well coated and try to shape them into perfectly round shapes.
- Combine the egg and buttermilk in a bowl and whisk thoroughly.
- Carefully dip (or pat on, as I did) the buttermilk mixture onto the patties.
- Dip the battered patties into the panko crumbs until thoroughly coated.
- Carefully place the breaded patties into the hot oil and fry both sides until golden brown (about 2 minutes or so per side, but keep an eye on them- they cook fast!). Remove and transfer to a paper towel lined plate.
- Combine the verde enchilada sauce and the sour cream thoroughly in a microwave safe bowl and heat for about 2 minutes, or until heated through.
- Pour a generous amount of the verde sauce over the patties and top with shredded cheese. Don't worry, the patties will still stay pretty crispy.
- Serve with borracho beans and green chili rice (from this site) and enjoy!
Tips:
- Select ripe avocados: Use ripe avocados that are slightly soft when pressed gently. Avoid avocados that are too hard or too mushy.
- Use a variety of fillings: Feel free to experiment with different fillings to suit your taste preferences. Some popular options include tuna salad, chicken salad, shrimp salad, egg salad, or even roasted vegetables.
- Add flavor to the filling: Don't be afraid to add herbs, spices, or other seasonings to the filling to enhance its flavor. This will make the stuffed avocados even more delicious.
- Use fresh ingredients: Always use fresh ingredients whenever possible. This will ensure that your stuffed avocados are as flavorful and nutritious as possible.
- Garnish with fresh herbs: Before serving, garnish the stuffed avocados with fresh herbs such as cilantro, parsley, or chives. This will add a pop of color and freshness to the dish.
Conclusion:
Stuffed avocados are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, snack, or main course. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a variety of fillings to choose from, you can create stuffed avocados that are both flavorful and nutritious. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give stuffed avocados a try.
