Ingredients

  • 1 cup cooked and cooled fire roasted corn fresh or frozen see note
  • 2 tablespoons sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • teaspoon chili powder
  • 2 tablespoons crumbled cotija cheese
  • 2 large avocados mashed
  • 1 teaspoon finely minced red onion
  • 1 clove small garlic finely minced
  • 2 tablespoons diced tomato
  • salt and black pepper
  • Garnish: additional crumbled cotija cheese, chili powder and/or chopped cilantro
  • Tortilla chips for serving

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, combine corn, sour cream, lime juice, chili powder, cotija cheese, and a pinch of salt. Stir to combine. Set aside.
  • In a separate large bowl, combine mashed avocado, red onion, garlic, tomato, ½ teaspoon salt, and a pinch of black pepper. Once that's combined, stir in a little more than half of the corn mixture. Taste and add more salt if necessary. Transfer to a serving bowl. Spoon the remaining corn mixture on top of the guacamole and sprinkle with additional cotija cheese, chili powder, and/or chopped cilantro. Serve immediately or refrigerate tightly covered for an hour or two (any longer and it might begin to turn brown).

Notes

If using fresh corn, I typically boil it for about 5 minutes, then grill it, rotating occasionally, until there are grill marks on the corn. Cool and then slice the corn from the cob.
