  3. Brush the grill grates clean.
  4. Grill the jalapeno over direct medium high heat, with the lid closed as much as possible, until the skin is blackened on all sides, about 10 minutes. Turn as needed.
  5. Transfer to a bowl and cover with plastic wrap or foil to seal. Let stand for about 10 minutes.
  6. Remove the jalapeno from the bowl and peel off the black skin.
  7. Cut the jalapeno in half and remove the seeds, leave seeds in for hotter Guacamole. Cut into ¼” pieces.
