Ingredients
  

2 ripe avocados

1 cup cherry tomatoes, diced

1/2 cup canned black beans, thoroughly rinsed and drained

1/2 cup corn kernels (you can use canned or frozen that have been thawed)

1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Juice of 1 lime

1 teaspoon ground cumin

Salt and pepper, to taste

1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled (optional for added flavor)

1/4 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream (for drizzling)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Avocados: Begin by slicing the avocados in half lengthwise. Carefully remove the pit from each half. Using a spoon, gently scoop out a small portion of the avocado flesh from each half to create a well for the filling. Place the scooped avocado into a mixing bowl, ensuring not to discard any.

    Mix the Filling: In the bowl containing the scooped avocado, add the diced cherry tomatoes, rinsed black beans, corn kernels, finely chopped red onion, chopped cilantro, lime juice, ground cumin, salt, and pepper. Carefully mix the ingredients together until they are evenly combined. Taste the mixture and adjust the seasoning as necessary.

      Fill the Boats: Use a spoon to evenly fill each avocado half with the prepared vegetable mixture, packing it in gently to hold all the flavors.

        Add Toppings: If you wish, sprinkle a generous amount of crumbled feta cheese over the top of each filled avocado. Finish by drizzling Greek yogurt or sour cream over the top for a delightful creaminess.

          Serve: Arrange the filled avocado boats on a serving platter. For an added touch, garnish with extra cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side. Enjoy immediately to savor the freshness and delightful textures.
