So I need to give full disclosure here. I hate football. I’ve never been much of a fan. However, I used to love playing touch football on weekends. I would get totally carried away. One time I forgot it was touch and tackled the heck out of one of my besties. I don’t think she was very happy with me. I got really overzealous and think I scared the laid back players. Apparently calm Kim turns into spastic and violent Kim when sports are involved.

I’ve always been a tomboy. I grew up with two older brothers so I know how to play most sports. We were really rough and tumble kind of kids growing up. So it’s surprising I don’t care for watching sports on TV. It’s a weird quirk I suppose. But hand me a basketball and I’m going to have to wipe the floor with you a little bit. It’s just how I roll. My hubs has never won a game against me. I think kicking your hubby’s butt occasionally is good for your marriage.

I hope you enjoy Appetizer Week. Make sure you scroll down to enter the amazing giveaway, it’s sponsored by OXO. You can find lots of photos of OXO products being used to make this grilled guacamole. I just happen to have a house full of them. I love them and use them daily. Also be sure to check out all the other great appetizer dishes all my bloggy buddies cooked up. And last, but not least, remember to come back every day this week for amazing appetizers and prizes. We are going to help you through the best game day party on the block!

Grilled Guacamole

Easy to make, addictive to munch on. You can do this on your outdoor grill, or use your indoor if needed. This Grilled Guacamole is perfect for game day!

Prep Time 10 minutes

Cook Time 5 minutes

Total Time 15 minutes

Ingredients

• 2 ripe avocados
• 1/2 sweet onion minced
• 2 shallots diced
• 2 tablespoons butter for pan
• 1 to 2 chipotle peppers in adobo chopped finely, no juice
• 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1/2 to mato if you don't have ripe use 1 or 2 san marzano tomatoes, chopped, no juice
• Olive oil for drizzling

Instructions

1. Preheat your grill to a medium high heat.
2. Prep you avocados by cutting them in half and removing the pits. Brush generously with olive oil.
3. Grab a grill safe pan, I have a cast iron pan I use for my grill only. Pop the butter in the pan. Toss your onions and shallots inside.
4. Carefully bring your pan of onions and shallots, and also your oil brushed avocados to the hot grill.
5. Place the pan on first. Allow to cook for about 3 to 5 minutes. You want them to soften and start to brown.
6. Now pop you avocados on the grill cut side down. Leave them there for about 1 to 2 minutes. You want them to char just a bit.
7. Carefully remove your hot pan and your avocados off the grill. Turn your grill off.
8. Take your avocado tool and carefully scrape out the inside. Discard the outside.
9. Mash the avocado gently with a fork.
10. If your onions and shallots have excess oil you can drain them. If not you can transfer them to the bowl with mashed avocados.
11. Toss in the rest of the ingredients and mix gently.
12. Serve immediately if possible. If not serving immediately you should keep the tomato out till you are ready to serve, cover with plastic wrap, making sure the plastic is pressed right against the guacamole. Guacamole discolours quickly if not wrapped properly.
13. Serve with a big old game day smile!
