To make sauce, peel and remove pit from avocado. Dice avocado into a medium bowl. Drizzle avocado with olive oil and lime juice. Using a fork, mash avocado to coarse consistency. Add mustard, relish, and garlic pepper to bowl; stir together until well blended. Cover and refrigerate until needed. To make patties, cut chicken into 1 inch chunks.

Add cilantro, tortilla chips, relish, cheese, 1 tsp. salt and garlic pepper to bowl of chicken; mix together, handling as little as possible. Divide mixture into 6 equal portions. Form 6 patties about 3/4 inch thick. Make a dimple in center of each patty. Cover with plastic and refrigerate 1/2 hour. Prepare charcoal grill with cover to medium hot heat or a gas grill to medium high heat. When medium hot heat is reached brush grill rack with vegetable oil. Retrieve patties and lightly sprinkly both sides of patties with remaining tsp. salt. Place patties on grill rack; grill about 6 minutes covered or until nicely browned on bottom. Turn patties and grill covered 6 to 7 minutes or until opaque throughout. Remove patties from heat and stack on a plate to keep warm. Place rolls cut side on grill grate and lightly toast. Brush toasted sides of rolls with olive oil. To assemble burgers, palce a tettuce leaf on roll bottom, a slice of tomato then a burger.
