Believe it or not, my RV does actually come with a stove and oven, but I love any excuse to cook on the grill. It is that added smokey flavor makes things taste wonderful.
Oh and there is the fact that the husband insists on being the one to cook on the grill. Who is going to argue with that?
Anyway, let’s talk about the food!
Mexican Grilled Chicken and Avocados
2 Chicken breasts
2 Avocados
Olive Oil
Shredded lettuce
Tomatoes (chopped)
Mild Thick and Chunky Salsa
Refried Beans
Marinade
8 scallions (chopped)
1 tsp. garlic powder
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 tsp. cumin
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
1/2 tsp. chipotle powder
1 tsp. paprika
2 tbsp. apple cider vinegar
Mix together all marinade ingredients with a whisk.
Place the marinade and the chicken breasts in a large zip lock bag and refrigerate overnight.
Once the chicken has marinated, it is ready to grill!
While the chicken is cooking, cut up the lettuce and tomatoes. Half the avocados and remove the seed. Brush the cut edge of each avocado with olive oil.
When the chicken is ready to pull off the grill, add the avocados face down on the grill. Cook for 5 minutes.
Grilled avocados have an added smokey flavor and taste great on a bed of chopped lettuce and tomatoes, topped with taco sauce, shredded cheese and sour cream. Add a side of refried beans to your grilled avocado and Mexican Chicken, and you have a great festive meal!
