Stuffed Avocados with Chipotle Mayo
We had record breaking heat in Minneapolis yesterday. 95 degrees and humid. But I hear it snowed in Salt Lake City? I know there are a lot of you that love the heat, but for this Minnesotan, it was almost unbearable, especially at this time of year.
When it heats up, I have no desire for heavy, dense food. Very unlike the middle of the winter when it is -30 below! I have never made stuffed avocados and decided that a nice, substantial salad would be perfect for a hot evening. I kept it refreshing and light with the addition of jicama and celery. The chipotle “mayo” was the perfect binder, adding a lot of flavor and a little kick!
Stuffed Avocados with Chipotle "Mayo"
- Chipolte Mayo (recipe: HERE)
- 3 Avocados
- 1 cup Jicama, diced
- 1/2 cup Celery, diced
- 1 1/2 cups Cherry Tomatoes, chopped
- 1 cup Sunflower Seeds
- 1/2 cup Sweet Onion, diced
- Make chiptole mayo and set aside.
- Slice avocados in half, remove pit and set aside. Combine diced jicama, celery, cherry tomatoes, sunflower seeds and chopped onion. Stir in 1/2 to 1 cup of the chipotle mayo.
- Spoon into avocado halves.

Perfect,perfect,perfect to bring to a potluck! Today, I found a wonderful set of vintage Lefton dessert plates with matching teacups. It was a great thrift store find and I thought of your upcoming Dessert Cookbook when I purchased them. Those little plates, with purple violets, can’t wait to be decorated with a creation from your first Cookbook!! Thank you!!

This is the 3rd or 4th time I’ve seen Chipotle in a recipe. What is it? Also, one of your other recipes called for Smoked Paprika….what is that and where are these found?

I couldn’t love the heat more! It got up to 98.8° here in KC, MO yesterday.
Although yummy fresh and light food is really a great way to eat during the heat. I made a smoothie yesterday from simply a bunch of strawberries from my garden a couple bananas and water! So refreshing!

Love your site! This recipe looks so delicious. I need some variety because I’m trying to eat raw for breakfast and lunch (regular dinner with my family) and growing a little tired of salads. This is perfect. Thanks! Oh, and the chipolte mayo with sweet potato “fries” look awesome too!
