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.

Steps:
- Combine the ham, chopped hard-boiled eggs and optional ingredients with enough mayonnaise to bind. Chill until ready to use.
- Just before serving, cut the avocados in half, remove the pit and peel. Place a half over shredded lettuce on six plates, sprinkle with lime or lemon juice to prevent discolation then add the filling to the avocado cup.
Tips:
- Choose ripe avocados: The avocados should be slightly soft to the touch, with no bruises or blemishes.
- Use a sharp knife: A sharp knife will make it easier to cut the avocados in half and remove the pits.
- Be careful not to overstuff the avocados: Too much filling will make them difficult to eat.
- Use a variety of fillings: You can use any type of filling you like, but some popular options include tuna salad, chicken salad, egg salad, and guacamole.
- Add some spice: If you like spicy food, you can add some chopped jalapeƱo or cayenne pepper to the filling.
- Serve immediately: Stuffed avocados are best served immediately after they are made, as they will start to brown if they sit for too long.
