Ingredients

2 ripe but firm avocados, halved and pitted, skin left on

1/4 shredded extra-sharp cheddar cheese

1 small chipotle chile in adobo, minced (about 1 tsp.), or to taste

1 tablespoon lime juice, plus 4 wedges for serving

Pinch of salt

Preparation

  1. Preheat broiler to high.
  2. Place avocado halves on a baking sheet.
  3. Thoroughly combine cheese, chipotle, lime juice and salt in a small bowl. Evenly divide the cheese mixture among the avocado halves. Broil 3 to 4 inches from the heat source until the cheese is bubbling and beginning to brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Serve warm with lime wedges.
