Ultimate Grilled Guacamole Recipe

Steps

1. 1Prep. Begin preparing ingredients by cuting avocados in half and remove pits.
2. 2Cut the lime in half.
3. 3Cut the onion into 1/4-inch (6.3-mm) slices.
4. 4Dice tomatoes.
5. 5Cut the jalapeno in half, remove the ribs and seeds, and mince.
6. 6Finely chop the cilantro.
7. 7Fire up. Prepare a grill for direct high heat cooking (a.k.a. Warp 10), at least 450°F (232.2°C). If you’re using a charcoal grill, add a handful of wood chips or 1 to 2 chunks of your favorite smoking wood for flavor. For a gas grill, fill a smoking box or smoking pouch with wood chips and add to the grill.
8. 8Cook. Brush the cut sides of the avocados and both sides of the onion slices with canola oil. Place the halved avocados and lime halves on the grill cut sides down and allow them to grill while turning periodically until charred, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the avocados and limes and set aside.
9. 9Place the onion slices on the grill and grill until lightly charred, approximately 2 minutes. Flip the onion slices and grill until the second side is lightly charred, 1 to 2 minutes.
10. 10Prep. Use a spoon to scoop the charred flesh from the avocado halves. Finely dice the onion.
11. 11Combine the avocado, juice from the charred limes, 2 tablespoons of the diced onion, tomato, jalapeno, and 1 tablespoon of cilantro in a small mixing bowl. Mash the ingredients with a fork until blended together but still slightly chunky. Add salt to taste.
12. 12Serve. Serve the grilled guacamole immediately with tortilla chips. Or use for nachos, quesadillas, tacos, burgers, and sandwiches.
