Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 ripe avocados
- 1 cup roasted corn kernels
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 tomato, diced
- 1 lime, juiced
- Salt to taste
- Fresh cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Begin by preparing all your ingredients. Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork or a potato masher until you reach your desired level of creaminess.
- Next, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread the corn kernels evenly on a baking sheet and roast them in the oven for about 10 minutes, or until they are golden and slightly charred. This will enhance their flavor and add a nice texture to your guacamole.
- While the corn is roasting, finely chop the onion and dice the tomato. Once the corn is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
- Once cooled, add the roasted corn, chopped onion, diced tomato, and lime juice to the mashed avocado. Stir gently to combine all the ingredients, being careful not to over-mash the avocado.
- Season the mixture with salt to taste. Start with a small pinch and adjust according to your preference. Mix well.
- Transfer the guacamole to a serving bowl. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro for a burst of color and flavor.
- Serve the Zesty Roasted Corn Guacamole immediately with tortilla chips, or use it as a topping for tacos or burritos. Enjoy!
Tips
- • Choose ripe, dark green avocados that yield slightly to gentle pressure for the creamiest texture • Roast corn kernels until they have golden-brown edges for maximum flavor development • Use fresh lime juice for the brightest, most vibrant taste • Don't overmix the guacamole - keep some chunky avocado pieces for great texture • Serve immediately to prevent browning and maintain the freshest taste • For extra heat, consider adding a finely chopped jalapeño pepper • If not serving right away, place plastic wrap directly on the guacamole's surface to prevent oxidation
