Ingredients

Instructions

Prepare the cauliflower rice: Pulse cauliflower florets in a food processor until they resemble rice grains. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add the cauliflower rice, smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, and a generous pinch of salt. Sauté for 5-6 minutes, stirring often, until tender and fragrant. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Make the fresh salsa: In a bowl, combine cherry tomatoes, red onion, cucumber, cilantro, 1 tbsp olive oil, lime juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss well to combine.
Halve the avocados and carefully remove pits. Scoop out a little flesh from each half to create a larger cavity (reserve the flesh for another use).
Fill each avocado half with a generous spoonful of spiced cauliflower rice, pressing gently to pack it in. Top with the fresh salsa.
Arrange stuffed avocados on a plate. Garnish with extra cilantro and lime wedges. Serve immediately for a cool, satisfying meal.
