Healthy avocado recipes are at the top of our list for must-try dishes, because as far as we're concerned, the avocado is the Beatles of produce. The buttery fruit is a larger-than-life superstar, timeless and an inevitable crowd pleaser.

Avocados are packed with skin-enhancing healthy fats, plus nearly 20 vitamins and minerals, including and vitamins A and C. Plus, eating half an avocado with lunch may help control hunger throughout the day, according to one 2014 study.

But if you're bored with guacamole (nearly impossible, we know), there are a number of other ways to put this green wonder fruit to good use. Here, 15 easy and healthy avocado recipes to try at home.

Consider dinner planned: This satisfying meal can be thrown together quickly -- for far fewer calories than an overstuffed burrito at your local Mexican joint.

Ingredients:
2 cups cooked shredded chicken
1/2 cup Mexican cheese blend (or mozzarella)
1 avocado, diced
2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
4 large tortillas
1 tablespoon oil

Directions:
Mix the shredded chicken, cheese, cilantro and diced avocados. Lay a tortilla flat on a plate and top it with a quarter of the mixture. Roll up the tortilla. Repeat the process for all four tortillas. Pour a tablespoon of oil into a heated pan or griddle. Place all four tortillas on the pan and cook for two minutes on medium-high heat. Flip the burrito and cook it on the other side until it's golden in color. Serve warm.

This might be a bit of a healthy avocado recipe stretch, but this appetizer features the union of perhaps the internet's two favorite foods. In other words, there's no way it can be bad, right?

Ingredients:
4 to 6 strips of bacon
1 large avocado
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/2 to 1 teaspoon chili powder

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and chili powder and set aside. Line a baking sheet with foil. Cut open the avocado and remove the pit. Slice about 3/4-inch slices lengthwise, and then cut through the middle to cut all of the slices in half so that you have short, thick chunks of avocado.

Cut each slice of bacon in 3 to 5 pieces, and wrap each piece around the avocado. Roll in the brown sugar mixture and place on the baking sheet. Bake at 425 degrees for 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from the oven to a platter and stick a toothpick in each for serving.
