     This was easy and delicious! I have never tried grilling avocado, but it was great. (I used a firm avocado. I'm not sure a very ripe one would work as well?) - 2/4/15

     It's better with full fat cheese, and lower carb, too! It's yummy! - 6/27/14

     I've been doing this for years but without BBQ'ing the avocado. This is a nice twist to it.
    Great healthy snack - I use it for appetizers quite often in the summer or winter. - 4/30/14

     Very tasty actually prepared my boiler as grilling season is just arriving - just enough for as a side or a snack - I sprinkled with Cayenne - 4/30/14

     i used feta instead of the queso, and these were a HUGE hit! - 8/20/14

     I grill so many things, but never an avocado, what a different treat! I don't have an outdoor grill, so I used my stovetop grill instead and it came out great! - 5/26/14

     I never slightly grilled an avocado before it gave it a lightly smoked flavor. I will grill them more often - 3/24/21
