I'm not a huge fan of avocados. I can eat them, but if I don't have to I won't. I saw these and figured I could give them a try because maybe the avocado taste wouldn't be so prevalent with the hot sauce. I was right. I really enjoyed these. I used buffalo sauce because that's what I grabbed without realizing it. I will definitely make these again. I made these with lasagna which I will be posted after this. You can probably eat a whole one of these for a meal because avocados are actually high in calories compared to other fruit. A half of a avocado is about 160 calories which I didn't know. I don't know this for a fact, but that's what it said when I looked it up.
Grilled Avocado w/ Hot Sauce & Parmesan Cheese
Ingredients:
1 avocado
1 tablespoon hot sauce(I used buffalo)
1 tablespoon lime juice
¼ cup parmesan cheese(I used the shredded in the container)
Salt and pepper
Method:
1. Slice the avocado in half and remove the stone. Prick all over with a fork, or cut criss-cross patterns with a knife. This allows the sauce to penetrate the flesh.
2. Pour the sauce over each half, then top with lime juice and salt and pepper.
3. In the cavity where the stone has been, put a fourth of the cheese on each avocado half. Place under the hot grill for 2 minutes.
4. Top with remaining cheese and grill (broil for Americans!) for another 2 minutes until completely melted and avocado warmed through.
