Grilled Guacamole
If you are guacamole fan, you are going to love this unique twist on a classic! This recipe involves grilling the avocado, jalapeños, garlic, and onion then mashing them together to create a velvety smooth and smoky dip.
Ingredients
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 2 jalapeños
- 4 ripe avocados cut in half, seed removed
- 2 tablespoons sweet onion finely diced and grilled
- 3 tablespoons olive oil plus more for brushing avocados
- 1 lime juiced
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons cilantro leaves finely chopped
Instructions
- Roast Garlic: Preheat grill (or oven) to 400°F.
- Place garlic cloves on a piece of foil on a sheet pan and drizzle with oil. If grilling, create a foil "boat" and place directly on the grill. Depending on the size, roast for 15-25 minutes or until soft and fragrant.
- Squeeze from the bottom of each clove and the soft flesh will come right out.
- Grill jalapeños, onions, and avocados: Heat grill to medium high heat. Brush jalapeños, sliced onions and cut side of avocados with olive oil.
- Cook jalapeños over direct heat until all sides are charred 6-8 mins.
- Remove jalapeños and place in a small bowl and cover with plastic wrap or a plate. Let steam for about 5 minutes. Using a paper towel wipe off charred skin, slice in half, remove seeds and finely dice.
- Place avocados cut side down on a preheated grill. Grill for 4-5 minutes (without moving). Cook onions 4-5 mins, flipping once until charred on both sides. Remove avocados and onions then place them on a cutting board until cool enough to handle. Once cooled, dice and scoop out avocado flesh.
- Combine all ingredients: Place all ingredients into a molcajete (mortar) and tejolote (pestle)… or use a bowl & fork.
- Mash and mix to desired consistency. Serve and enjoy!
