Avocado Nacho Bowls (Great for Parties!)

First off, our apologies for not posting a new blog since... October... whoa! We've been having a lot of success with our Etsy shop (check the right side bar!) and have been very busy getting our new url going. We have managed to maintain the Facebook/Instagram/Twitter but have been neglecting the blog since VeganMoFo ended. Sorry! Soon to be remedied! We have lots of write-ups for vegan-friendly destinations and restaurants we have visited in the last few months in the works, and of course, tons of recipes to share!

Now, if you've been following us on Instagram then you've probably seen these little avocado nacho bowls pop up in your feed. We have had a lot of requests for the recipe and we are more than happy to share it!




-For the basic recipe-

You will need:
1 small avocado
1/2 cup Daiya or other vegan cheese (cheddar or pepper jack is best)
Salt
Pepper

What to do:

First, cut the avocado in half and remove the pit.

Then, fill the hole with vegan cheese and continue to stack on top until covered with a vegan cheese mountain.

Bake in toaster oven at 450º for 10-15 minutes. Could be longer depending on your toaster oven. (Alternatively, you can bake in a conventional oven at 425º for 20 minutes.) Work with it a bit if needed. The goal is to get the avocado soft enough to eat with firm tortilla chips and melt the cheese throughly without burning it to a crisp.

Once removed from oven sprinkle with salt and pepper and serve with firm tortilla chips.

Make tons of them if you want! They're fantastic for parties!


We've seen some great variations of this little recipe already.

eatmygraaains did a version with jalapenos and mixed vegan cheeses that looked really awesome on Instagram.

We also experimented by filling the avocado holes with salsa and topping them with grape tomatoes before baking. That was pretty yummy as well!

We would love to see your take on this idea! If you make this appetizer please take a picture and tag us on Instagram! @twoveganladies

We'll be back soon with more blog posts! In the meantime don't forget to follow us on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, and of course Instagram.

With peace, love, and compassion-
