Ingredients

  • 1 large green avocado
  • ½ cup fresh cilantro, coarsely chopped
  • 1 lime
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 tablespoons fajita marinade

Prep

    • Preheat oven to 400°F.

Steps

    1. Coat avocado wedges with oil; season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Bake 20-25 minutes or until tender and edges are lightly browned.
