1 cup canned black beans (about half a 15-ounce can), drained and rinsed
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons finely diced red onions
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
2 plum tomatoes, seeded and diced
1 lime, juiced
1/2 red or green bell pepper, diced
1/2 jalapeno, finely diced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 medium avocados (not too ripe), sliced in half and pitted
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon chile powder
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Tortilla chips, for serving

Steps:

Prepare a grill for medium-high heat.
For the black bean salsa: Stir together the beans, cilantro, red onions, cumin, tomatoes, lime juice, bell peppers and jalapenos in a medium bowl until well incorporated. Season with salt and pepper.
For the grilled avocado: Brush the cut sides of the avocados with olive oil and place on the grill cut-side down. Cook until charred, about 1 minute. Season with the chile powder and some salt and pepper.
To serve, fill the cavity of each avocado with the salsa and serve with tortilla chips.
