Grilled Avocado

This Grilled Avocado makes a simple and tasty side dish, but I also love turning it into a full meal by topping it with beans, veggies, or grilled meat. The skin gets a little crispy on the grill, while the inside stays soft and super flavorful, perfect for a healthy lunch or a quick snack for the family.
