Ingredients
- 2 ripe avocados
- 1 ear of corn, grilled
- 1 lime, juiced
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 tomato, diced
Instructions
- Start by preparing your ingredients. Cut the ripe avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl. Set aside.
- Grill the ear of corn over medium-high heat for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the kernels are slightly charred and tender. Remove from the grill and let it cool for a few minutes.
- Once the corn is cool enough to handle, carefully cut the kernels off the cob using a sharp knife. Add the grilled corn kernels to the bowl with the avocado.
- Add the diced onion, diced tomato, and chopped cilantro to the mixing bowl with the avocado and corn.
- Pour the freshly squeezed lime juice over the mixture. This will not only add flavor but also help prevent the avocado from browning.
- Using a fork, gently mash the avocado and mix all the ingredients together until well combined. Be careful not to over-mash; you want to maintain some texture.
- Season the guacamole with salt and pepper to taste. Start with a pinch of each, and adjust according to your preference.
- Transfer the grilled guacamole sweet corn to a serving bowl. Optionally, you can garnish it with additional cilantro or lime wedges for a pop of color.
- Serve immediately with tortilla chips, fresh veggies, or use as a topping for tacos or grilled meats. Enjoy your delicious grilled guacamole sweet corn!
Tips
- Choose ripe avocados that yield slightly to gentle pressure for the creamiest texture.
- When grilling corn, rotate it frequently to ensure even charring and prevent burning.
- Use fresh lime juice for the brightest, most vibrant flavor.
- For extra smoky depth, consider using a grill with wood chips.
- If you don't have a grill, you can char the corn on a gas stove or using a cast-iron skillet.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the guacamole at its freshest and prevent browning.
- For a spicier version, add diced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce.
- Keep some corn kernels slightly larger for added texture and visual appeal.
