I never get tired of guacamole, chocolate mousse (the avocado makes it creamy), or eating avocado raw whatever I can, but sometimes a girl needs to branch out.
Oh yes, I grilled avocado!
Even better I served it with Spicy Black Beans and Cilantro-Lime Brown Rice. This may be a combo made in heaven.
I almost hate to call this a recipe because it is so easy.
Avocado Grillers
Ingredients
- 2 ripe avocados, cut into equal slices (6-8)
- bell peppers, cut into strips
- onions, cut into strips (thin strips will burn)
- corn tortillas or other gluten-free tortillas
Do
- Preheat your grill and add avocados, bell peppers, and onion.
- Check every few minutes to see how they are cooking, turn once they start to brown and don’t let them burn.
- Remove veggies from the grill.
Serve
We ate these on gluten-free corn tortillas but any tortilla will do. These veggies are also great served on a salad. For lunch the next day I mixed up rice and beans then topped it with the grilled avocado and veggies. So Good!

You can grill avocados????? Can’t wait to try!
I hope you like it! I’m not usually patient enough to grill them. 🙂
I never thought to grill avocados. Brilliant idea 🙂
It was a fun experiment that turned out delicious. I may get more aggressive with my grilling experiments as the temperatures heat up.
grilled avocado – you are genius!
Thanks! I have my moments!
I’ve never grilled avocados!! I didn’t know you could do this!
It didn’t change the flavor much but they seemed a little firmer (they held their shape) after grilling. I was afraid they would turn into mush but they were really nice grilled.
Whoa! What a concept!! I love avocados in just about any application – – so I’m sure this is tasty, too!
This is such a fun idea! I like it!! Alot! Thanks for linking up at our Gluten Free Fridays party! I have tweeted and pinned your entry to our Gluten Free Fridays board on Pinterest! 🙂

Hi! I just found your site and am SO excited! My husband and I just started eating WFPB last week and I’m thrilled about all your recipes! You said you made this with spicy black beans and cilantro lime brown rice…are these recipes posted somewhere on your site? The whole meal sounds delish!
Hi Kelly, Congrats on starting a plant-based diet! I have an “unfried black bean” recipe on the Recipe Page, some of my recipes don’t end up on the blog. I do have a Spicy Black Bean and Cilantro Lime Quinoa recipe online. It was in a recipe contest so it’s on a different site. It won me a trip to Miami! You could make it with rice instead of quinoa. http://www.pritikin.com/recipe-contest/recipe/cilantro-lime-infused-quinoa-with-black-beans/

Mashed avocados on toast are yummy. Add salt, pepper and maybe a slice of tomato or what ever sounds good.
