Ingredients

4 semi-ripe avocados, halved

Olive oil 

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper 

1 pint grape tomatoes, quartered 

2 cloves garlic, minced 

1 jalapeno, finely diced 

1/2 small red onion, finely diced (about 1/4 cup) 

1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar 

1/4 cup sour cream 

1 teaspoon agave nectar

Juice of 1 lime 

Hot sauce, to taste 

1 cup tortilla chips, crushed

Directions

  1. Preheat a grill to medium heat.
  2. Using the tip of a paring knife, cut off a sliver of the skin from the rounded side of each avocado half, so they will lay flat on your serving platter. Score the flesh side of each avocado half in a cross-hatch pattern. Brush the inside of the avocado halves with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place the avocado halves cut-side down on the grill for 1 minute 30 seconds. Turn the avocado halves 90 degrees to get cross-hatch grill marks and cook for another 1 minute 30 seconds. Remove from the grill and place, grilled-side up, on a large platter.
  3. Stir together the tomatoes, garlic, jalapeno, onion, cilantro, vinegar, salt and pepper in a mixing bowl. Set aside for assembly.
  4. Whisk together the sour cream, agave, lime juice and hot sauce in a small mixing bowl to form the crema.
  5. Mound about 2 heaping tablespoons of the vegetable mixture into each avocado half. Drizzle the margarita crema over the avocados. Sprinkle the tortilla chips on top. Serve immediately.

OMG! We added lump crab meat as mentioned on the show. It is restaurant-worthy!! Love the crema and the smokiness of the avocado.
