Guacamole with grilled corn topcook.tomathouse.com
Ingredients:
- 1 ear of corn, husked
- Vegetable oil to grease the corn
- 3/4 teaspoon ground chipotle pepper
- 1/4 tsp ground coriander
- 1 bunch of green onions, roots trimmed
- 2 plum tomatoes
- 3 ripe avocados
- 1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro leaves
- 2 jalapeño peppers, finely chopped (remove seeds to reduce heat)
- Juice of 1 lime
- Corn tortilla chips, for serving
Preparation:
- Preheat grill to medium heat.
- Lightly brush the corn with vegetable oil and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon chipotle powder, and 1/8 teaspoon cilantro. Grill the corn, green onions, and tomatoes until lightly charred, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let cool.
- Cut the avocado in half and remove the pit. Scoop the flesh into a large bowl and mash with a fork until it forms a paste with small chunks. Coarsely chop the green onions and tomatoes, and cut the kernels from the corn cob.
- Add the vegetables to the bowl along with the cilantro, jalapeño, lime juice, and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon chipotle and 1/8 teaspoon cilantro. Stir to evenly distribute the ingredients and season with salt to taste. Serve the guacamole with tortilla chips.
