Charred Corn Guacamole

Feel free to call me a Guacaholic. I won’t be offended because it’s absolutely true. As summer is fast approaching, I am ready to fire up my BBQ and get my grill on and make this Charred Corn Guacamole on repeat.

Ingredients

For the Guacamole

  • 3 Hass avocados
  • ½ lemon juiced
  • ½ lime juices
  • 2 teaspoons chopped jalalpeño
  • 1 ear of corn
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • sea salt and pepper to taste
  • ½ teaspoon cumin

For the Chips

  • Vegetable Oil
  • 5-6 Small Corn Tortillas
  • ½ teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • ½ teaspoon Hot Paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Salt

Instructions

  • Cut the tortillas into 6 triangles each.
  • Add the vegetable oil to a heavy bottom pan over high heat, about ½ inch deep. Once the oil is shimmering, add a few of the tortilla triangles at a time and fry for about 1 minute on each side until they are crisp.
  • Meanwhile, combine the salt, and spices in a small bowl and set aside.
  • Remove the chips from the oil and transfer to a paper towel. Sprinkle with salt mixture and let cool to room temperature.
  • Brush the cleaned ear of corn with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Place onto a heated indoor or outdoor grill and let sit for a 3 minutes or so on each side until slightly blackened. Remove from grill and let cool. Once cool, cut the kernels off and set aside.
  • Combine the avocados, lemon juice, lime juice, jalalpeño, cumin, salt and pepper into a large bowl and mash together with a fork. Add the charred corn and combine. Serve with freshly made tortilla chips.

Notes

I love making my own tortilla chips, but you can also use your favorite from the store or plop this on your favorite tacos.
