These were yummy and a great alternative to the basic taco. I fried my corn tortillas for a minute on each side and I cooked some black beans and onion with a little cumin. I put the beans, avocado, tomato, cheese, cilantro and some spinach on each tortilla and baked for about 5 minutes, just long enough to warm it all up. I will definitely make this again, maybe add more spices to zip it up a bit.

Very easy and filling. The jalapeno sauce sets this dish off

These were great, but you can’t have just avocados and onions on tortillas all by itself. It isn’t even guacamole unless you add the tomato! I added tomato to mine and then warm refried beans which made it excellent!

I made these when my family came over for mother's day and they were a huge hit, even with people that don't like avocado!

Good recipe, but too much like guacamole. I added a little lime juice and tomato to the tacos as well. Instead of making the the tacos filled with the avocado spread alone, I did a 50/50 mix where I made half like a guacamole dip and then kept the other half of the avocados sliced and not mashed to give a little more consistency to the taco. My fiance is a meat-eater, so he appreciated the sliced avocado, making it seem like he was eating something more "hearty"!

I loved this recipe, even my strictly carnivorous boyfriend enjoyed it. I brush the outside of the tortillas with a olive oil-lime juice mixture before throwing them in the oven and left them there for a little longer than the recipe called for. I garnished the tacos with some pico de gallo, chili peppers and sour cream.

I loved these. Avocados are one of my fave foods. I only had about 5 minutes to throw dinner together and these were perfect. I didn't have time to chop an onion (and I'm not a big fan of raw onions anyway) so I used a sprinkle of dry onion flakes. I did use the cilantro and sprinkled the hot sauce right into the avocado mixture. I lightly fried some chipotle tortillas in a little canola oil insted of using corn tortillas. Served with shredded cheddar, chopped tomatoes, and nice crunchy romaine. I really enjoyed this meal.

This is a good idea, but it's a little boring as is. It's not much more than guacamole in a tortilla. I love avocados and eat them plain all the time, but if they're in a taco, I'd like to have other ingredients, such as tomato, lettuce, and maybe some black beans.

all things considered, with modification, this could be much better. sorry - i just wasn't impressed, and as a vegetarian married to a carnivore, i'm always on the lookout for things i can make for myself when i cook up tacos.

Simple and tasty. I omitted the onion and seasoned the mashed avocado with various Mexican spices, salt, pepper, half a teaspoon of chicken bouillon and added 3 tablespoons of lemon juice (although lime juice might work better.) Great vegetarian dish, but probably would have tasted even better with shredded chicken.

Yummy meatless tacos! I love the hint to warm the corn tortillas in the oven. I thought the only way to get them not to tear was to give them a quick dip in hot oil. I will be using corn tortillas more from now on.

This was really good, but I think I put too much onions. I love avocados, so I was looking for a light dinner recipe with them and it was really helpful! I made it with lettuce, sprinkled cheese and put a little salsa. YUM! I'm going to try it the other ways listed in the reviews. Thanks!

This was pretty bland, make sure you use really ripe avocados to maximize the flavor. I still give it 4 stars though, just because avocados are so darn good!
