Now that it’s warming up (at least in Arizona) I love making snacks that can enjoyed poolside or while enjoying the sunset. A favorite of mine is making chunky grilled bacon guacamole. One might ask why grill a perfectly good avocado?! The answer is simple and tasty!
Guacamole is awesome no matter what but I love grilling the avocados, jalapeños, & onion to add a smoky and rustic flavor to my favorite dip. After I create grill marks on the avocados, peppers, and onion I cool them down before cutting. It’s important not to overcook since you’re really just looking to add a little color and flavor to it. You can serve this guac on top of a chicken or salmon or chill it and enjoy it with your favorite chips.
Chef Anthony Pro Tip – I lightly spray my avocado, jalapeños, and onion with avocado oil before I grill them.
Leave the skins on the avocado to make it easier to handle and remember to only grill one side.
Chef Anthony Pro Tip – Add in a little bit of the jalapeños at a time. You can add more spicy heat to your guac but you can’t take it out.
