INGREDIENTS

• 2 avocados, halved and pitted
• 1 1/2 cups pulled pork or chicken (leftover is perfect)
• 1/4 cup BBQ sauce (I used sugar-free)

To Garnish
• 2 tbsp BBQ sauce (sugar -free)
• 2 tbsp ranch dressing (thinned slightly)
• 1 tbsp snipped chives or green onion

DIRECTIONS

1. Cut avocados in half, remove the pit. Scoop some of the avocado out to make room for the filling. (You can mash it and mix it with the ranch dressing or add it on top of the pulled pork. I gave it to the kids.)

2. Warm the pulled pork in the microwave or in a frying pan, then mix with 1/4 cup of your favorite BBQ sauce. Evenly distribute between the avocado halves.

3. Drizzle each half with remaining BBQ sauce and ranch dressing. Garnish with chives or green onion.

4. Eat as is or pop into the microwave to warm. Alternately, place into an oven preheated to 350 F and bake covered for about 20 minutes. Cover and refrigerate any leftovers. I reheat in the microwave.

5. Serves 4, at 4 net carbs per stuffed avocado half.
