Grilled Guacamole

Grilling the avocados does not add that much additional flavor, but this technique keeps your guac fresh and green looking for several days...

INGREDIENTS:
4 firm yet ripe avocados, halved, pitted, brushed with oil
3 T. fresh lime juice
1/4 cup red onion, minced
2 T. japaleno, seeded, minced
5 garlic cloves, minced
Salt/pepper to taste
Cayenne pepper can be added as well

DIRECTIONS:
Preheat grill to medium
Grill avocados, cut side down, until marks appear (about 2 min)
Peel and place in bowl then mash with lime juice until creamy (using a fork)
Stir in remaining ingredients and enjoy with chips

Hi! A restaurant I worked at a long time ago served grilled avo stuffed with goat cheese, herbs, and (maybe) finely chopped tomatoes along with a spring mix salad. Don't remember all the ingredients. All I really remember was that the avocado and the goat cheese just melted in your mouth. Thanks for the yummy reminder.
