Avocado Taco Bowls (AIP, Paleo)

Happy September!

This is the craziest time of year for me and I feel like I have been neglecting the blog but I have a fabulous new recipe for all of you Taco Tuesday lovers out there. I am all about celebrating the small things!

These are so delicious and the filling for the avocado bowls can be eaten on its own or you could make an AIP friendly tortilla and wrap it inside if you want to make a burrito! You could also make yourself a taco salad and crunch some plantain chips on top for another variation.

Tacos are here to stay people whether you are following the AIP or a Paleo Diet, I’ve got you covered.

Happy Taco Tuesday!
