Avocados can be turned into a filling, high-protein snack by swapping toast and eggs for two simple ingredients: spicy beans and feta. The recipe, shared by Good Food, takes just 11 minutes to prepare and is described as a super speedy meal packed with vegetarian sources of protein.
What You Need for Stuffed Avocados
The ingredients include half a teaspoon of cumin seeds, a 210g can of red kidney beans, one large lime, three tomatoes, one banana shallot, one green chilli, a handful of coriander, 85g of feta, and one large or two small avocados.
To start, lightly toast the cumin seeds in a small pan, then combine them with the beans, lime zest and juice, tomatoes, shallot, chilli, and coriander in a large bowl. Next, crumble in the feta and gently fold everything together.
How to Serve the Dish
Spoon the mixture onto avocado halves, garnish with additional coriander leaves, and finish with a generous squeeze of lime wedges. The result is a creamy, savoury meal that avoids the extra carbohydrates from toast, which can leave you feeling bloated and lethargic.
