Tips for using avocados.
This is one of those recipes that using a ripe avocado is essential.
Because the avocado will be used as a boat or a cup to hold other ingredients, it should be fresh and not soft.
Here are some more great tips for you.
- To test an avocado for ripeness, gently press on it. If the the avocado is soft yet, firm enough to hold its shape, it is just right for this recipe.
- To cut the avocado in half, simply use a sharp knife and cut from the crown lengthwise down on a cutting board. The knife should be inserted far enough that it touches the pit. Once you have cut around the entire avocado simply twist the two sides apart.
- Non keto diet followers can add additional filling ingredients such as corn kernels or fruit . Keto followers who are not vegan can use regular mayonnaise and cheese.
How to store avocados.
In the chance that you are only using half of the avocado or not eating both halves stuffed in one sitter, you should store it. Avocados are not a food that lasts long on their own once used.

Here is how to store leftover avocados.
If you are only stuffing half of the avocado, remove the pit from the unused half and apply lemon juice to the meat before double wrapping it in plastic wrap for refrigeration. A leftover avocado that has been stuffed could also have lemon applied to its avocado meat and double wrapped for refrigeration being used within a day.
You may be wondering is it okay to eat a brown avocado.
Avocado meat turns brown when exposed to air and is said to not be a sign of being spoiled. Slowing down the browning process can be done by applying citrus juice (lemon, lime) and wrapping it well in plastic wrap.
