Grilled Guacamole
Updated June 01, 2019
Happy Memorial Day! I hope everyone is enjoying the holiday. We did a lot of yard work over the weekend so today we are going to relax. Well, I am going to try and make Josh relax. He seems to always find another project to work on:) We will be getting our grill out later this afternoon. First up on the grilling list, Grilled Guacamole. It is the perfect appetizer or side dish to any summer barbeque.
I’ve always loved avocados, but pregnancy has made me need them on a regular basis. We have been eating avocado everything-avocado ice cream, salsa, and guacamole. My new favorite guacamole is Grilled Guacamole. Grilling the avocados brings out a nice smoky flavor. You don’t grill the avocados for long, about 5-7 minutes, just until the avocados have black grill marks.
Next, you can add in all of the traditional guacamole ingredients-lime juice, garlic, onion, tomatoes, cilantro, jalapeno, salt, and pepper. Smash everything together and you have a bowl of creamy, smoky, delicious guacamole. Grab a bag of tortilla chips and start dipping.
I think everything in the summer time tastes better grilled, including this guacamole. If you are looking for a new way to enjoy guacamole, try Grilled Guacamole. I am sure the unique smoky flavor will win you over.

That is a way of making guacamole that I haven’t tried yet. Grilling the avocados surely adds a lot of flavor. Wonderful!

As if guacamole couldn’t get any better!
I would eat the whole bowl!
Oh I LOVE the idea of grilling the avocado for the guac! Hope you had a great long weekend:-)
What a great idea to grill up the avocados. I am loving me some guacamole right now too!
We also did yard work yesterday. Josh said he wanted to take a video of me picking weeds so when our child complained about being too tired to help do something around the house, he’d pop it in 😉
Ha! that is too funny! Yard work is a lot harder these days:) I hope you have a great Memorial Day!
Fantastic! Just when I thought guacamole couldn’t get any more delicious…
I’ve had grilled avocado before but never thought of making guacamole with it! My dad grows the biggest avocados I’ve ever seen, can’t wait to try this 🙂
I am a guac addict. Can’t wait to grill some avocados to try this version. Thanks.

Awesome. I love that smokey bbq flavor. I bet it just makes the guacamole. I guess we need to get a bbq first before I can try it though 🙁 Haha.
I love this idea!! We are HUGE guacamole fans ~ question…do you use ripe avocado for this or more firm? I hope I didn’t miss it if you wrote this 🙁
also, love your new design!
The avocados should be ripe. Thanks:)
Awesome Maria! Happy holiday and i hope you are feeling well
I cannot wait to taste the smoky flavor from this guacamole recipe!
Oh my gosh! What a fabulous idea! I wish I had thought of it first! How about grilling the onions that go in this guac, too?
Grilled onions would be great in this guacamole!

How fun! I’ve grilled avocados before for a salad but never for guac! Gotta try this one out for sure.

Out of all the things we grill, we have never tried avocados! I bet this is so good, and we love guacamole anyways. Definitely trying this next time 🙂
I love this idea! My husband and I adore guacamole, but had never thought to grill the avocado first. Definitely going to try this!
I ove grilling avocados – will try your recipe for Guac – always a fav
I’ve heard of grilled avocados and never thought to make guac out of it! Genius. I looove guacamole so this is on my summer recipe list for sure!
We tried this yesterday, it was fun, but I couldn’t taste a difference in the guac. We had grill issues yesterday, so maybe it was a technical malfunction. I may try it again.
grilled avocados for the salsa…. i love it. the grill probibly adds such a wonderful chard and smokey flavor to the guac. We are huge guacmole fans and i think this is just such a wonderful idea and would add and extra zip to a classic.
thanks guys.

Ohh I love this idea!! And I think my husband will too – being a good, Aussie bloke, he loves all things charcoaled and BBQd! And the only thing he loves more than that, is Mexican food! Will have to give this a try!
I agree that everything tastes better grilled in the summer. This guac is no exception! 🙂
