INSIDE OUT STUFFED AVOCADOS

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium heat.
• Using the tip of a paring knife, cut off a sliver of the skin from the rounded side of each avocado half, so they will lay flat on your serving platter. Score the flesh side of each avocado half in a cross-hatch pattern. Brush the inside of the avocado halves with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. 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.
• Stir together the tomatoes, garlic, jalapeno, onion, cilantro, vinegar, salt and pepper in a mixing bowl. Set aside for assembly.
• 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.

LOADED BAKED AVOCADOS

Steps:

• Preheat broiler with rack about 8 inches from heat source. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil. Cut avocados in half lengthwise; remove and discard pits. Scoop the flesh from the avocados into large pieces, keeping the shell halves intact.
• Toss the avocado flesh, salt and 1/4 cup cheese together in a medium bowl. Spoon the mixture evenly into the avocado shells; top evenly with the remaining 1/4 cup cheese. Arrange the stuffed avocado halves on the prepared baking sheet. Broil until the cheese is melted, about 3 minutes.
• Top each avocado half with 1 tablespoon sour cream. Sprinkle evenly with crumbled bacon, chives and pepper. Serve warm.

WARM STUFFED AVOCADOS

Steps:

• Heat grill to hot. Halve the avocados and discard the stones. Brush each half with ½ tsp of the olive oil and arrange on a baking sheet. Grill for 5 mins.
• In a small bowl, toss together all of the remaining ingredients. Season to taste, then divide between the hollows of each avocado. Serve immediately.

CHICKEN STUFFED BAKED AVOCADOS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Scoop out some of the flesh in the center of each avocado; place into mixing bowl. Add chicken, cream cheese, tomatoes, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper; mix well to combine. Scoop spoonfuls of chicken mixture into the wells of each avocado; top each with generous amount of Parmesan cheese. Place avocado halves, face-up, in muffin cups to stabilize.
• Bake avocados in preheated oven until cheese is melted, 8 to 10 minutes.
