To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients:
- 1 head of cabbage
- 2 ripe avocados
- 1 lime
- 1 small red onion
- 1 small jalapeno pepper
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup cooked rice
- 1/2 cup black beans
- 1/2 cup corn kernels
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup salsa
To begin, preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Then, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Carefully remove the outer leaves of the cabbage and blanch them in the boiling water for about 2 minutes, or until they are pliable. Remove the leaves from the water and set them aside to cool.
Next, prepare the guacamole filling. Mash the avocados in a bowl and add the juice of one lime, the chopped red onion, diced jalapeno pepper, chopped cilantro, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
In a separate bowl, mix together the cooked rice, black beans, and corn kernels.
To assemble the cabbage rolls, place a cabbage leaf on a cutting board and spoon a generous amount of the guacamole filling onto the center of the leaf. Top with a spoonful of the rice and bean mixture, and sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese. Roll up the cabbage leaf tightly, tucking in the sides as you go. Repeat with the remaining cabbage leaves and filling.
Place the stuffed cabbage rolls in a baking dish and top with salsa. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender and the filling is heated through.
When finished, these Guacamole Stuffed Cabbage Rolls are a beautiful and delicious dish that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of fresh, healthy ingredients and bold, zesty flavors make this dish a crowd-pleaser that is sure to impress. Enjoy!
