Instructions

1. Begin by halving the ripe avocados and removing the pits. Scoop out a bit of the flesh from each avocado half to create a larger cavity for stuffing. Be careful not to scoop too much, leaving a sturdy avocado shell. If you need to scoop out extra avocado to create a larger cavity for the walnut mince, you can dice the scooped-out avocado and mix it into the mince or save it for another use.
2. In a food processor, pulse the walnuts until they are finely minced. You can also chop them by hand if you prefer a chunkier texture. Add in the oy sauce or tamari, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and olive oil. Stir the mixture until all the walnuts are evenly coated with the spices and soy sauce. To properly incorporate the flavors, let the walnut mince sit for about 5 minutes. During this time, the walnuts will slightly soften and absorb the seasoning, creating a texture reminiscent of traditional mince.
3. In a mixing bowl, combine the minced walnuts, finely chopped red bell pepper, finely chopped red onion, minced garlic, chopped cilantro or parsley, and lime juice. Mix well to combine.
4. Season the mixture with salt and black pepper to taste.
5. Garnish the stuffed avocados with fresh cilantro and any optional toppings you desire, such as diced tomatoes, sliced jalapeños, or vegan cheese shreds.
