Ingredients
Serves:

| 2 | (12-in. long) sheets aluminum foil | |
| 24 | blue corn tortilla chips | |
| 1 | cup | diced, boneless cooked chicken or turkey |

Instructions
- Layer the two sheets of foil on top of each other and fold about 2” up on all four sides to form a rectangular bowl shape. Crimp corners.
- Spread tortilla chips on foil bowl; top with chicken, cheese and chiles.
- Place foil bowl with chips, chicken, cheese and chiles on a hot barbecue grill over indirect heat. (The top shelf of a two-shelf grill works well, or you can place in an area of the grill that is not directly over the gas flame or coals.) Cover grill and heat for about 2 to 5 minutes, or until cheese is melted. Carefully remove from grill and place on a heat-safe dish.
- Top chips with the diced tomato and avocado. Sprinkle with seasoning if desired and serve immediately.
Serving Suggestion: If desired, top with diced red onion and sprinkle with cilantro. Serve with fresh lime wedges. Also delicious with a bowl of fresh guacamole for double the avocado enjoyment!
Beverage Pairings: Perfect with fresh-squeezed lemonade.
*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.
