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.
BLACK BEAN AVOCADO SALSA
This has to be my favorite summer salsa. It's colorful and fresh tasting. It makes a bunch, so invite some friends over. I like to take the lime after it's been juiced and rub down the bowl I will be serving the salsa in. I also rub the lime on the plastic wrap this will help keep the avocados from turning brown. Don't forget the tortilla chips!

Tips:
- Choose ripe, firm avocados for grilling. Underripe avocados will be difficult to cut and grill, while overripe avocados will be too soft and mushy.
- To prevent the avocados from sticking to the grill, brush them lightly with oil before grilling.
- Grill the avocados over medium heat for 5-7 minutes per side, or until they are slightly charred and tender.
- Be careful not to overcook the avocados, as they can quickly become mushy.
- Once the avocados are grilled, remove them from the grill and let them cool slightly before stuffing them.
- For the black bean salsa, use fresh, ripe ingredients. This will give the salsa the best flavor.
- If you don't have any fresh cilantro, you can use dried cilantro instead. However, fresh cilantro will give the salsa a much better flavor.
- Serve the grilled avocados immediately, topped with the black bean salsa.
Conclusion:
Grilled avocados stuffed with black bean salsa is a delicious and healthy appetizer or main course. The avocados are grilled to perfection, and the black bean salsa is fresh and flavorful. This dish is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
