Ingredients

  • 2 large ears of corn shucked
  • Cooking spray
  • 3 ripe avocados
  • cup finely chopped red onion
  • ¼ cup chopped cilantro

  • Juice of 1 lime

  • Cut the avocados in half lengthwise. Remove the pit, scoop out the avocado flesh with a spoon and place them in a bowl. Mash with a fork until you reach your desired consistency
  • Add the cilantro, red onion, garlic, jalapeño and lime juice and season. Stir carefully to combine.
  • Add the grilled corn on top (or mix in) and top with cotija cheese, if desired. Serve immediately with tortilla chips.

Notes

Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container. They will last about 3-4 days in the fridge. Make sure to cover it with a piece of plastic wrap pressed on top of the guacamole so it is touching it. This usually prevents it from browning. If some browning does occur, just scrape the browned layer off and serve.
* Please note the nutrition label does not include the tortilla chips.
