How to Make Avocado Bacon Boats

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Cook 4 slices of bacon until crispy. Crumble and set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine 2 tablespoons sour cream, 1/4 cup diced tomatoes, 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  3. Cut 3 ripe avocados in half lengthwise, remove pits, and gently scoop out the pulp, leaving about 1/8 inch of avocado flesh in the shells. Dice the avocado pulp and add it to the bowl with the other ingredients.
  4. Stir in the crumbled bacon.
  5. Fill each avocado shell generously with the bacon and avocado mixture.
  6. Serve immediately. Garnish with extra bacon crumbles and a sprinkle of fresh herbs (optional).
