11 - 1 teaspoon chili powder
12 - 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
13 - 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
14 - 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
15 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
16 - 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

→ Oils

17 - 1 tablespoon olive oil

# How to Make It:

01 - Combine diced tomato, finely chopped red onion, minced jalapeño, fresh cilantro, half the lime juice, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Mix gently and set aside.
02 - Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, approximately 5 minutes.
03 - Stir in minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 2 additional minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat.
04 - Carefully scoop out a small amount of flesh from each avocado half to create a larger cavity for filling. Reserve the scooped avocado flesh.
05 - Dice the reserved avocado flesh and gently fold it into the prepared salsa mixture.
06 - Squeeze the remaining lime juice over the avocado halves to prevent oxidation and browning.
07 - Divide the seasoned taco meat evenly among the avocado halves. Top with shredded cheese while the meat is still warm to encourage melting.
08 - Spoon salsa generously over each stuffed avocado. Add a dollop of sour cream on top. Serve immediately.
