Peaches are juicy and dripping with golden nectar. On the grill let them caramelize and have as a snack or turn them into a dessert with some brown sugar, a squeeze of lemon and a scoop of ice cream!

Grilled Salsa Roja

Bon App
Yes, you read right – grilled salsa. Putting all the salsa ingredients on the fire gives it a completely different and beautiful flavor. The easy way is to let it cool, then toss into a blender, but if you want to be authentic, use a pestle and mortar to grind it into a delicious chipotle pulp.

Grilled Corn and Chile Dip

Grilled corn is a necessary item for any outdoor BBQ. Hot off the grill, slice down the cob and let the sweet kernels fall into a bowl with some chile, queso fresco, and a generous squeeze of limes and you’ve got a dip what will make you salivate.

This a Filipino-style version of calamari. Seafood takes no time at all on the grill. Easy to season, easy to cook, and oh so tasty. Stuff it with minced tomato, onion, and mango for a tropical twist and enjoy with some steamed rice and a tangy, spicy marinade dip.

Carne Asada

Let’s put Mexico back on the plate. Carne asada is the typical meat that goes on the grill for tacos. The marinade gives a great flavor and you can’t argue with all the fresh toppings all wrapped in a warm corn tortilla. Especially on a hot day, tacos sound more appetizing than a bacon covered, ketchup smeared, 1/3 lbs burger doesn’t it?

Grilled Cactus

Known as nopales in Spanish, it’s grilled cactus. Don’t worry, all the prickly spikes are shaved off with a knife. Grill this till tender and simply have with salt and lime, or top it with some melted cheese and salsa. Eating grilled veggies will never be the same…

If you haven’t done a banana boat yet, welcome to the world of epic grilled desserts. First of all, the banana acts as the apparatus itself and inside it offers a gooey, chocolatey, marshmallowy decadence you will refuse to share. Don’t feel all bad. Bananas are loaded with potassium. Go ahead, keep eating.
