Stuffed Avocados Four Ways

These suckers were about to go bad, so I decided to have a little fun in the kitchen, and created 4 tasty stuffings. Not the quickest way to enjoy avocados, but they look so pretty stuffed! Feel free to add your own unique twist to these recipes. 

Note: Each recipe yields stuffing for 4 avocado halves, so consider increasing or reducing ingredients depending on how many avocados you’re stuffing

Before you begin, scoop out most of the avocado flesh and save for guacamole (or whatever your stomach desires).
