Cut the avocados in half and remove the pit. Scoop out a bit of the flesh to make room for the filling.

Preheat the oven to 175 °C (350 °F).

In a small bowl, combine the low-fat mayonnaise, lemon juice, garlic, and cilantro. Stir well. Add 1 to 2 teaspoons of water to reach the desired consistency, then season with salt and pepper to taste.

Before serving, drizzle each half with the remaining BBQ sauce and the garlic-cilantro aioli. Garnish with fresh cilantro and green onion.

Add a sprinkle of queso fresco on top, if desired.
