How to Make Southwest Grilled Avocados

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  2. Cut avocados in half lengthwise. Remove pits and gently brush cut sides with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, followed by 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil.
  3. Place avocados cut-side down on the preheated grill. Grill for 2-3 minutes, then carefully flip and grill for another 2-3 minutes, or until grill marks appear and avocados are slightly softened but still hold their shape.
  4. Using a spatula, carefully remove avocados from the grill. Spoon desired amount of salsa into the avocado pits.
  5. Serve immediately and enjoy! Garnish with fresh cilantro or lime wedges if desired.
