Suggestions/Recipe Tips

Corn – I used frozen corn which is always in my freezer. You can use fresh corn. Adjust cooking time. You can also grill fresh corn on the cob as you would for Elote.

Seasoning – Mexican seasoning works great. You can also make up your own blend. Oregano, smoked paprika, chili, cumin, or whatever combination you like.

Jalapeno – I used pickled, but fresh works just as well. Adjust according to your taste.

Oil – I love using avocado oil for grilling because it has a high heat point. Vegetable or olive oil is another option.

Lime Juice – Fresh lime or bottled juice, either will work. Lemon is a good alternative.

Toppings – Salsa verde is fantastic. Regular salsa and pico de gallo are great alternatives. You can also switch up the cheese to another variety. Try feta, cheddar, or blue cheese. Cilantro is a great substitute for parsley.

Serving – The filling can be made ahead of time and kept in the fridge until ready to use. Once the avocados are off the grill, just stuff and serve. You can also prepare these ahead of time and place them in the fridge. They can be eaten warm or cold.

Hint – If you want the boats not to topple over, before filling, cut a small slice off the bottom of the grilled avocado. Just enough to create a flat surface. It will make your boat sit level.

FAQ (Questions and Answers)

Can you eat brown avocado?

Yes, you can. It looks less appetizing for sure, but it tastes the same.

How should you store fresh avocados?

If you want firm avocados to ripen, leave them on the counter at room temperature. If you have some ripe avocados you would like to keep a little longer, place them in the fridge.

How long will they last once cut?

About 3-4 days. Be sure to add some acid like lime juice to help keep them from going brown.

Can you freeze fresh avocado?

Yes. Cut it into chunks, or mash it. Add some lemon or lime juice, and seal tightly to keep as much air out as possible. It will last for about 6 months in the freezer.
