California Avocado Fajita Grilled Foil Packs

Make sure to preheat grill to ensure that the fajitas are cooked evenly.
Place cut vegetables into large mixing bowl and add the shrimp, oil, seasoning, garlic and lime juice. Toss until all ingredients are coated well.
Lay down two large pieces of foil, allowing them to slightly overlap. Pour all the ingredients onto the foil.
Fold up the edges around the mixture and crimp tight on top.
Place the pack on the grill and cook for 15 minutes or until the shrimp is fully cooked and the vegetables are tender. Carefully open the foil pack and garnish with the cubed avocado. Drizzle the Blended California Avocado Salsa on top.

Blended California Avocado Salsa

In a blender combine the avocado, salsa, and lime juice. Blend for 30 seconds.

Variations: substitute proteins, add additional vegetables, California Avocado Crema or sour cream

Serving Suggestion: Serve on large platter in foil for sharing, with warm tortillas alongside. Rice and beans make a nice accompaniment

Pairing: lite beer, white or rose wine, margarita

*Large avocados are recommended for this recipe. A large avocado averages about 8 ounces. If using smaller or larger size avocados adjust the quantity accordingly.

It’s a good idea to brush a little oil on the cut side of a California Avocado before grilling. They are also delicious in a host of other entrée recipes, from stove top to oven-baked to multi-cooker preparation.
