Step by Step Instructions:
Baked Salsa in Avocado is yours in no time with the following ingredients: Salt & Pepper, 1 Lemon, Salsa (either your favorite brand or homemade), 1 Avocado, Bread Crumbs, Basil (I didn’t have fresh basil, so I used dried basil), Grated Parmesan Cheese, and minced Garlic.
Begin by preheating your oven to 450 degrees. Then in a small dish put together the breading. You’ll need 1/4 cup of bread crumbs, 1 minced garlic clove, 1 tablespoon of grated Parmesan cheese, 1 tablespoon of fresh basil chopped or I used 1/2 tablespoon of dried basil, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, and salt & pepper to taste.
Then using a fork, I combined the breading mixture.
Cut your avocado in half.
Then scoop some extra avocado out to make room for the salsa. You won’t need to scoop a ton.
Then spoon the salsa into the hole. With jarred salsa, it’s a bit watery, so I used a paper towel to absorb the excess liquid.
Then I lined a rimmed baking sheeet and leaned the avocado agains the edge. Top the salsa with the breading mixture and bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes. Then serve right away. This was such a creamy yet spicy treat! I can’t wait to try it again. Happy Salsa-ing!
