Chef Rico's Texas Grilled Avocados with Mango Salsa

This is a Cadden family favorite and a Texas tradition for sure and will compliment any backyard grill. Whoever thought this one up is a genius and should get an award for flavor and texture. Be careful how you pick your avocados for this...they need to be on the hard side when purchased and certainly not soft. The bigger the better!


Ingredients

  • 1- red bell pepper
  • 1- yellow bell pepper
  • 1- green bell pepper
  • 1- large mango
  • 1- white onion
  • chopped cilantro
  • fresh shredded mild cheddar cheese
  • several limes
  • seasoned salt 
  • pepper
  • Chef Rico's Texas Style Salsa or any mild salsa

1. Finely chop each of the bell peppers and mix together in a bowl
2. Finely chop the white onion and add
3. Take the mango and peel it then slice in downwards making large slices. There is a seed in the middle that is hard to remove so just carve around it. Add that to the mixture in the bowl
4. Quarter a lime and squeeze all four parts into the mix
5. Stir all this together well for your mango salsa
6. Next chop the cilantro for a topping
7. Shred the cheddar cheese course for a topping
8. Take the avocado halves and in the last 15 minutes of grilling your meat, place them flat side down directly over the heat source, gas or charcoal.
9. Grill until the avocado has grill marks and blackened.
10. Remove from the grill and in the hole where the seed was, spoon in your mango salsa to just fill the hole.
12. Use a pinch of seasoned salt and pepper over the top
11. Sprinkle with shredded cheese, chopped cilantro, and using a quarter of a lime, squeeze the juice across the avocados.

Serve warm and eat with a spoon
