Very good, the reason I rated it 4 stars is because I omited the garlic salt, added lemon juice and used parsley instead of cilantro.

We eat this all the time! Our favorite mixture is black beans sprinkled with a little garlic and cayenne, tomatoes, lettuce, onions, olives, sour cream, cilantro, salsa and cheese. It's so fresh and quick and easy. It's also great with a fresh pico de gallo! Thanks for the wonderful idea.

Avocadoes are so inexpensive this time of year, this recipe was just what I was looking for. I thought it was tasty...added some black beans and corn for substance- thanks!! =)

I have to agree with other that this recipe is rather...basic. I didn't feel like going the healthy route by heating them in the oven. Rather, I deep fried those suckers ( the corn tortillas) to get them crispy. I also added canned (rinsed and drained too) black beans, lettuce, and diary-free mozzerella cheese substitute (Follow Your Heart Vegan Gourmet- which is available at Whole Foods and Trader Joe's). My non veg husband helped himself to 4 of them! We thought this was a great base recipe to give us endless possibilities.

I have to agree, this was GREAT! After reading some of the reviews, I too made a few adjustments. I added some cheese and a dollap of sour cream. And instead of adding the pico de gallo to the avocado mixture, I topped it with my homemade salsa. I also used store bought tostadas instead of toasting the tortillas in the oven. It saved lots of time, but next time I think I'd like to follow the suggestion of the others and add lime juice & olive oil and toast the tortillas in the oven. My DH, who thinks he needs meat in every meal LOVED these! It was the perfect meal on a rather hot afternoon.

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.

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.
