Wow, this was great!! We just finished dinner, and I had to write a review. My husband, a meat and potato kind of guy, really enjoyed this! I did make a few adjustments. After reading some reviews I used pinto beans, I added garlic salt to the beans instead of the tacos. I also used green onion, instead regular onion. I chopped the avocado, I think next time I will mash some of it. We also squeezed a slice of lime over the top of the taco. Oh, and after reading one review, I took olive oil, about 1/3 cup, and the juice of one lime, and a half teaspoon of salt and mixed it together, then brushed that over the tortillas and warmed them in a cast iron skillet. This could also be done in the oven. They were not greasy, but they were soft and had wonderful flavor. I will definitely be making this again! We served fresh watermellon with it, and it was a wonderful cool dinner on a hot day.

Very good recipe. Added lettuce, green onions and tomatoes and skipped the jalapeno sauce(for health reasons).

This recipe served as a great starting point for my girlfriend and I to elaborate on. We added shrimp that we cooked with garlic, butter, red onion, chili powder and lemon. Then, for the pico de gallo, we used tomatoes, jalapeno, red onion, cilantro, lemon, garlic salt and pepper. And last, we warmed up a can of black beans and put corn tortillas in the toaster oven. Splashes of Tapatio filled in a very nice part of the palate. Cheese was a great topper as well.

Yum! I added a tomato and squeezed a lime into the mixture. Also, I skipped on heating the tortillas. Delicious and very refreshing.

Definitely a good side-dish as-is. But add some black beans, some cheese, and whatever else you might like in a taco and these things are awesome as a main dish! Everyone liked the guacamole, which was the star of the dish.

Really good! I didn't mash the avocadoes, just cubed them- included some lime juice, and a 1/2 a roma tomato finely chopped. They were delicious- husband and kids enjoyed them too!

There's something to be said about simplicity, and while I didn't eat any of the avocado tacos I made, my fiancee enjoyed them, and she said they were good. I guess what I'm driving at is that a recipe with four ingredients (not counting the tortillas) gets an extra star for being so easy and simple, partly since it serves as a great base recipe to tweak and add ingredients to.

This recipe is great!! I would never have thought that an avocado taco could taste so good or be so filling. I had to make a few slight changes because I didn't have some ingredients, but it's close to the original. I used 2 avocados, half a small onion, 1/2 t dried cilantro, 1/4 t salt, and some dried garlic (being lazy!). My husband likes spicy food, so I gave him some Tabasco sauce. We ate them on flour tortillas with shredded cheddar cheese. These are cheap, fast, and easy, too.

As is, this is a little plain for me. I think it is a good base for vegetarian tacos though. I dressed them up with salsa, cheese, sliced peppers, and flour tortillas.

This was really simply and delicious! Avocados are one of my absolute favorite foods, so this really hit the spot for my hubby and me. I added black beans and sharp white cheddar cheese. Thank you for sharing! This will be a regular for us.

This was a great basic recipe! So easy to expand on! I would suggest a few things... Put some lemon juice in with the avocado mixture, gives it a nice zip. I cooked some TVP (textured vegetable protein - a ground beef substitute) with some taco seasoning, and my family didn't even know they were missing the meat! I also love this recipe with some chopped fresh tomatoes and cheddar cheese. Lettuce, black beans, corn, sour cream etc. would also make nice toppings for this recipe - I might just put them in little bowls and let the family serve themselves! Also - 1 bunch of cilantro was too much, I would have said half bunch at most.

This recipe has fast become a favorite of ours, I have made it 3 times now since I found on the site. I have utilized some of the tips from other members. I add lime juice, garlic powder, cumin and 1/2 can of mild chili peppers to the avocado and the other 1/2 of can to vegetarian refried beans. I heat the shells over a flame on the stove, then stack like a taco with beans, avocado mix, fresh cilantro, tomatoes, onions, black olives, lettuce and ranch dressing or hot sauce. My husband asks for these weekly! Quite a suprise since his first response was very questionable. Easy to make for a quick and easy dinner!

VERY AMATUERISH RECIPE, BUT A GOOD SPRINGBOARD. THE PHOTO DOES NOT MATCH THE RECIPE THOUGH. IT LOOKS LIKE IT HAS BLACK BEANS AND TOMATOES, WHICH I WOULD RECOMMEND. ADD SOME LITE SOURCREAM AND SOME CHEDDAR CHEESE AS WELL AS YOUR GOOD TO GO. ADD SOME LEMON OR LIME TO THE AVOCADO TO PREVENT IT FROM BROWNING.
