Grilled the avocados:

  • Fire up the barbeque and wait till the coals are medium hot.
  • Halve the avocados and remove the seed but leave the skin on.
  • Brush the avocado halves with lime juice, followed by some olive oil.
  • Brush the grill with some oil and grill the avocados flesh side down for about 3 minutes, then remove from the heat.

Stuff the avocados:

  • Stuff the avocados with as much vegetable quinoa as they can hold and serve with extra lime slices.

  • Brushing the avocado halves with lime juice helps prevent discoloration of the fruit.
  • Feel free to throw in other veggies you have in your refrigerator and garden too.
