Ingredients
  

  • 1 cob of corn shucked
  • 1 tablespsoon oil
  • 4 large avocados cut with pits removed
  • 1/4 cup diced red onion or to taste
  • 2 cloves fresh garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped jalapeno or to taste
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice or to taste
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons cotija cheese crumbled; optional garnish

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Once it's hot, lightly spray or rub the cob of corn with some oil. Grill the corn until it gets a toasty appearance, which usually takes about 3-4 minutes per side.
  • Peel the avocados and remove the seeds. Place the flesh in a large bowl and mash it up using a fork or a potato masher.
  • Add the garlic, chopped red onion, chopped cilantro, a squeeze of lime juice, salt, and pepper to taste. Don't forget to throw in the grilled corn niblets that you prepared earlier.
  • Mix all the ingredients thoroughly. Perform a taste test and adjust the seasoning as needed. Your Grilled Corn Guacamole is now ready to serve!

Notes

Chef Jenn's Tips

    • Use ripe avocados for the best texture and flavor.
    • Want to kick up the heat? Leave some seeds in the jalapeno.
    • Fresh lime juice makes a big difference; avoid using bottled lime juice if possible.
    • Serve immediately to enjoy the full flavors, but if you have to wait, keep the avocado pit in the bowl to help prevent browning.
