Tomato Stuffed Avocados Food

INSIDE OUT STUFFED AVOCADOS

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium heat.
• 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.
• Stir together the tomatoes, garlic, jalapeno, onion, cilantro, vinegar, salt and pepper in a mixing bowl. Set aside for assembly.
• Whisk together the sour cream, agave, lime juice and hot sauce in a small mixing bowl to form the crema.
• 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.

• 3. Meanwhile prepare the filling...put avocado, cream cheese, garlic salt, pepper and lemon juice in a food processor. Cover and pulse until smooth.
• 4. Add the grated onion to the mixture and stir to blend. Spoon mixture into a piping bag with a round tip or a ziptop plastic bag (cut a small tip off of the plastic bag AFTER you spoon the mixture into it).
• 5. Place the tomatoes, open sides up, on your favorite serving platter. Pipe the filling into the tomato 'cups'.
• 6. Serve immediately or cover loosly and refrigerate for up to 4 hours.
