How to Make Avocado On The Half Shell

  1. Halve the avocados lengthwise, remove the pits, and gently scoop out a small amount of flesh from each half to create a slight well.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Mix well and let sit for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  3. Spoon the pico de gallo generously over the avocado halves, filling the wells.
  4. Optional: Garnish with a sprinkle of extra cilantro or a few lime wedges.
  5. Serve immediately and enjoy the fresh, vibrant flavors!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
