🔪 Instructions
Step 1: Make the Avocado Mixture
- In a mixing bowl, gently combine avocado, tomato, onion, jalapeño, lime juice, cilantro, salt, pepper, and cumin.
- Mix softly to keep chunks intact — you want it creamy yet textured.
- Taste and adjust seasoning (add more lime or salt if needed).
Step 2: Warm the Tortillas
- Heat a skillet or pan over medium heat.
- Brush each tortilla lightly with olive oil or butter and warm for 30 seconds per side until soft and slightly toasted.
- Keep warm wrapped in a clean towel.
Step 3: Assemble the Tacos
- Layer each tortilla with lettuce or cabbage, then spoon on the avocado mixture.
- Sprinkle with cheese, and drizzle with sour cream or Greek yogurt.
- Add your favorite extras — like radish slices, hot sauce, or a few bits of fruit for a tropical twist.
Step 4: Serve
Serve immediately with fresh lime wedges and enjoy every creamy, crunchy bite! 🥑🌮
💡 Chef’s Tips
- For extra protein, add grilled shrimp, tofu, or shredded chicken on top.
- Want crunch? Add crushed tortilla chips or roasted chickpeas before serving.
- Make it vegan by skipping cheese and using vegan yogurt or cashew crema.
🧊 Storage
- The avocado mix is best fresh, but you can prep the veggies ahead of time.
- Store any leftovers (without avocado) in the fridge for up to 2 days.
