7-Layer Stuffed Avocados
These stuffed avocados are a must-make dish this summer (or any season). You can serve these cuties as a hearty, standalone app or pair them with tacos — OR you can make them the day after taco night, when you have a bunch of chopped leftovers all ready to go.

7-Layer Stuffed Avocados
Prep Time15 Minutes
Servings4
0Ingredients
½ cup sour cream
¼ teaspoons L&B Taco Seasoning
2 tablespoons cold water
Juice of 1 lime, divided
Kosher salt, to taste
2 Roma tomatoes, seeded and small diced
1 small white onion, small diced
¼ cup loosely packed cilantro leaves, minced
4 large avocados
Dash Worcestershire sauce
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
½ cup refried beans
½ cup L&B Medium Serrano Salsa, strained, liquid discarded
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded iceberg lettuce
¼ cup sliced black olives
Tortilla chips, for serving
Directions
- To make the crema: Combine the sour cream, taco seasoning, cold water, 1 ½ teaspoons lime juice, and season with salt. Set aside.
- To make the pico de gallo: Stir together the tomatoes, onions and cilantro. Set aside.
- To prepare the avocado boats: Slice the avocados in half the long way and gently remove the pits. Slice the bottom off each avocado half so they sit level, flesh side up, on a large serving platter. Carefully scoop the flesh out of each half, leaving about one-eighth-inch flesh on the sides and bottom. Transfer the avocado flesh to a medium bowl.
- To make the guacamole: Mash the avocado flesh. Stir in 2 teaspoons lime juice, the Worcestershire sauce and half the pico de gallo. Season with salt and black pepper. Set aside.
- To assemble the seven-layer avocados: Fill one avocado half with an even layer of 1 tablespoon refried beans, 1 tablespoon guacamole, 1 tablespoon salsa, 2 tablespoons cheese and 2 tablespoons shredded lettuce. Drizzle the crema on top and garnish with a pinch of pico de gallo and a few olive slices.
- Repeat step 5 with the remaining avocado halves. Serve immediately with your favorite tortilla chips.
