How to Make 4-Layer Stuffed Avocado
Avocados are filled with heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, and are a low-carb source of fiber. Here we top half an avocado with black beans and salsa for simple southwest snack or side dish. You can use your favorite jarred salsa, or try this recipe for homemade Almost Smooth Salsa.

Step-By-Step Instructions:
- Place the beans in a small bowl. Using the back of a fork, mash until they reach an almost smooth consistency.
- Cut avocados in half and remove the pits. In the center of each avocado, layer 1 tablespoon of the beans, 1 tablespoon of Greek yogurt, and 1 tablespoon of salsa and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of cheese. Sprinkle the salt evenly over the avocados. Serve each avocado half with 1 slice of lime to squeeze over the dish.
