2 tablespoons sesame seeds
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons shoyu sauce Nama

Spicy Black Bean:

2 cups black beans
1/4 cup salsa organic, of your choice
2 teaspoons cumin ground
2 tablespoons coconut oil (or olive oil)
1/2 teaspoon salt sea
pepper black; freshly ground
2 tablespoons nutritional yeast (optional)

1 tablespoon maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon salt sea
pepper freshly ground

Optional garnish for all flavors:

Instructions

Sesame Cabbage:

Add all cabbage ingredients into a medium-hot skillet and cook until tender and soft, about 10 minutes. Adjust seasonings to taste

Spicy Black Bean:

Add all black bean ingredients into a medium-hot skillet and cook until warm. Adjust seasonings to taste

Curry Chickpea:

Add all chickpea ingredients into a medium-hot skillet and cook until the chickpeas skin is firm and slightly crisp. Adjust seasonings to taste

To assemble:

Halve each avocado (1 avocado per serving), remove pit, gently remove avocado flesh from the skin and place in a small mixing bowl. Combine the avocado flesh with ⅓ cup of whichever filling you’d like to use and stir to combine. Use this filling to fill the avocado skin. Serve immediately. Only store leftover fillings in an airtight glass container, open avocados only when you’re immediately serving.
