INSIDE OUT STUFFED AVOCADOS

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium heat.

Place the avocado halves cut-side down on the grill for 1 minute 30 seconds. Turn the avocado halves 90 degrees to get cross-hatch grill marks and cook for another 1 minute 30 seconds. Remove from the grill and place, grilled-side up, on a large platter.

• Whisk together the sour cream, agave, lime juice and hot sauce in a small mixing bowl to form the crema.
• Mound about 2 heaping tablespoons of the vegetable mixture into each avocado half. Drizzle the margarita crema over the avocados. Sprinkle the tortilla chips on top. Serve immediately.
