Guacamole with Grilled Avocado and Tomatillos

Enjoy this flavorful and smoky recipe for Guacamole with Grilled Avocado and Tomatillos. It’s a delicious twist on the classic guacamole recipe, perfect for outdoor gatherings and barbecues.

This recipe doesn’t have to be neat or scientific; peel the avocados, brush with Holy Smoked Olive Oil, and place them on the grill for a few minutes. If you don’t have a grill, try cooking them under your oven’s broiler or on a grill pan for a few minutes.

The result is lightly smoky, rich, and silky guacamole. I love guacamole, but I also love to try a new version of a classic favorite, and this Guacamole with Grilled Avocado and Tomatillos will fit the bill.

Time to start the recipe:

Finally, the veggies were all grilled. Next, I scooped out the avocado and mash the grilled avocados in a serving bowl. After that, begin chopping the veggies. Then, add the chopped grilled tomatillos, red onion, jalapeños, tomatoes, and cilantro. Finally, with the juiced lime, add the juice to the mixture. Lastly, it is important to fold the ingredients together gently. This will keep the mixture chunky.

Are avocados good for us?

Let’s face it: it’s nearly impossible to scroll through any social feed without seeing avocados in some form: avo toast, guacamole, green smoothies, and the list goes on.

Also, this green fruit is popular for a reason. Avocados are not only delicious but highly nutritious, filled with good-for-you nutrients. Not to mention the recipe possibilities are endless! Here is a link to find out all avocado’s health benefits!

The brands I use to make the Guacamole:

As I have shown, my favorite tortilla chips are Sea Salt Multi-Grain which is gluten-free! They are delicious and healthy all in one.

Also, I can’t live without whole or ground Cumin. The McCormick Organic Whole Seed Cumin is a staple in my house. I noted above the Holy Smoke Olive Oil, Smoked Pepper, and Smoked Sea Salt, which can be found at in my space at The Marketplace on Locust in downtown Hendersonville, NC.

This recipe for Mexican-Style Grilled Corn is the perfect side dish to the Guacamole with Grilled Avocado and Tomatillos.

Instructions

 

• Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
• Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and brush the cut sides with a little olive oil to prevent sticking.
• Place the avocado halves, red onion slices, jalapeño halves, and lime halves on the grill grates. Grill for about 2-3 minutes per side until they are nicely charred and grill marks appear. Remove from the grill and let them cool slightly.
• Once cooled, scoop out the flesh from the grilled avocados into a mixing bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork until you reach your desired consistency (smooth or chunky).
• Finely chop the grilled tomatillos, red onion and jalapeño, and add them to the mashed avocado. Add the cumin.
• Slice the Cherry or Grape Tomatoes in half or quarters. Chop the fresh cilantro. Add both to the mashed avocado.
• Squeeze the juice of one lime into the bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and black pepper.
• Gently mix all the ingredients together until well combined.
• Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more lime juice, salt, or pepper according to your preference.
• Transfer the grilled guacamole to a serving bowl and garnish with additional chopped cilantro if desired.
• Serve the grilled guacamole with tortilla chips or as a topping for grilled meats or tacos.
