Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Grilled Stuffed Avocado
- Start by dicing two cups of cherry tomatoes and one small red onion, then finely chop a handful of fresh cilantro and one serrano chili pepper. In a mixing bowl, combine these ingredients with two tablespoons of olive oil and the juice of one lime. Season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste.
- Prepare your outdoor grill by heating it to a medium temperature, around 350°F to 400°F. Allow approximately 10 minutes for the grill to reach the ideal heat while you get the avocados ready for grilling.
- Carefully slice two ripe avocados in half lengthwise and remove the pits. If desired, you can gently scoop out a bit of the avocado flesh to create extra space for the pico de gallo filling. Brush the cut sides lightly with olive oil.
- Place the prepared avocado halves cut side down on the preheated grill. Grill for about 5 minutes, or until you see nice grill marks and the avocados are slightly softened, yet still hold their shape.
- Once the grilled avocados have cooled slightly, fill each half generously with the prepared pico de gallo mixture. Sprinkle a few sea salt flakes on top to enhance the flavors.
- These Grilled Stuffed Avocados are best served warm, right off the grill. Arrange them on a plate, and if you like, add a wedge of lime or a sprinkle of extra cilantro for garnish.
