Get grilling! Everywhere I turn - magazine covers, the hardware store, commercials - everything is about grilling. I saw a beautiful shot of a grilled avocado in an old Gourmet magazine and I got inspiration to grill guacamole. And not just the avocado - but the whole enchilada! If you have the grill on, why not? Just throw all your guacamole ingredients on there and try a new twist this summer.

Ingredients
- 1/2 tsp EVOO
- 1 lime, halved
- 1/2 onion, paper on
- 1 serrano chile, halved, stemmed and seeded
- 3 Haas avocados (the best for guacamole), skin on
- 2-3 Tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1/2 tsp smoked salt (why not go the whole nine!, click link for recipe)
Preparation
- Heat grill or grill pan at least 7-10 minutes until extremely hot. Quickly brush with EVOO and place lime, onion and chile, cut sides down, on the surface. Do not disturb. Grill lime 2 minutes; onion 10 minutes; and chile 5 minutes. Remove and let cool.
- Grill avocados, cut side down, last to retain their bright green color, about 5 minutes total. Remove and let cool.
- When all ingredients have come to room temperature, squeeze lime juice into a medium bowl. Quickly scoop out avocado and mash gently with a potato masher, but leave chunky (another technique to deter the avocados from browning). Chop chile, onion and cilantro and add with smoked salt. Mix until incorporate and serve with chips.
