Cut each avocado in half and remove the pits, cut the onion in half, chop the cilantro, and cut the limes in half.

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.  Once warmed, place the avocado fruit side down, the onion, and the whole jalapeno onto the grill.  Let grill for 5 minutes and then carefully flip each ingredient to the other side.

Grill for an additional 5 minutes and remove the avocado.  Flip the jalapeno and onion to a third side, if desired, and grill for another 3-5 minutes.  Remove from the grill and let cool.

Roughly chop the grilled onion.  Remove any charred pieces from the skin of the jalapeno and chop. Remove the fruit from the skin of the grilled avocados and place in a bowl.

Squeeze the lime over the avocado and mash lightly with a pestle, fork, or potato masher (I’ve used a molcajete like this one).

Add the chopped onion, jalapeno, cilantro, and a pinch of salt and stir to combine.  Taste and adjust the seasoning to your liking and serve with tortilla chips or on the side of grilled chicken.
