Ingredients

  • 6 large Roma tomatoes, halved lengthwise and seeded
  • 3 limes, halved
  • 3 garlic cloves, peeled
  • 2 large avocados, halved lengthwise and pitted
  • 1 large mango, halved lengthwise and seeded (do not peel)
  • 1 sweet onion, thickly sliced
  • Extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 15 dried tepin (bird's eye chile peppers), ground 
  • Celtic sea salt
  • 1 head butter lettuce

Instructions

  1. Preheat grill to medium heat. Brush tomato and next 5 ingredients (through onion) with oil. Place fruits and vegetables on grill rack; grill, rotating halfway through grilling to achieve even grill marks, about 3 to 5 minutes. Set limes aside.
