Assemble, per order:
- Heat grill over high heat. Whisk canola oil, salt, sugar and Korean chili powder in a bowl. Gently toss 2 avocado quarters in oil mixture until evenly coated.
- Place unpeeled avocado quarters on hot grill and cook until grill marks appear, about 1 ½ minutes on each cut side. Remove from grill.

- Peel grilled avocado quarters and place one quarter on top of each lettuce cup, grill side up. Mound ¼ cup of Crunchy Almond Slaw around each avocado quarter. Serve with 1 oz. Spicy Strawberry Ssam Sauce and lime wedges.
