Ingredients

4 large baking potatoes (2-1/4 lb.)
1 lb. extra-lean ground beef
1 onion, chopped
2 Tbsp. TACO BELL® Reduced Sodium Taco Seasoning Mix
1/2 cup KRAFT Mexican Style Finely Shredded Four Cheese
2 fully ripe avocados, mashed
2 Tbsp. KRAFT Zesty Lime Vinaigrette Dressing
2 green onions, sliced

Steps:

Heat oven to 375ºF
Prick potatoes with fork or sharp knife; place on baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray.
Bake 1 hour or until tender. About 10 min. before potatoes are done, brown meat with onions in large skillet on medium heat. Stir in taco seasoning mix; cook 5 min., stirring frequently. Add cheese; cook 2 to 3 min. or until melted, stirring frequently. Remove from heat.
Cool potatoes 10 min.; cut lengthwise in half. Scoop out centers, leaving 1/4-inch-thick shells. Add 1 cup potato flesh to meat mixture; mix well. Spoon into potato shells. Return to baking sheet. Discard remaining potato flesh or reserve for another use. (See tip.)
Bake stuffed potatoes 5 min. or until filling is heated through. Meanwhile, mash avocados; stir in dressing.
Spoon avocado mixture over potatoes; sprinkle with onions.
