Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh corn kernels
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • ¼ cup fresh lime juice, divided
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon salt, divided
  • 2 ripe avocados, peeled, halved and seeded
  • 1 cup fresh tomatoes, seeded and diced
  • ¼ cup red onion, diced
  • 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced (about 2 tablespoons)
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, combine corn, oil, 1 tablespoon lime juice, cumin and ½ teaspoon salt. Spread corn mixture onto a baking sheet and broil on high for 5 to10 minutes, or until kernels are starting to lightly blacken. Remove from oven and allow to cool.
  2. In a small bowl, mash 1 avocado half with the remaining 3 tablespoons lime juice. Dice the remaining 3 avocado halves. In a large bowl, gently combine the roasted corn with the avocados, tomatoes, red onions, jalapeno peppers, cilantro and remaining salt.
  3. Press plastic wrap directly on top of the guacamole to reduce air contact and prevent darkening of the avocados. Tightly cover the top of the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate at least 2 hours to allow flavors to marry before serving.
