This refreshing street corn dish can be made in 10 minutes and is great with tacos or grilled burgers, chicken or steak.
You’ll love the simplicity of this dish. I keep some frozen fire roasted corn in my freezer at all times, because this side can be thrown together in minutes to go with many different proteins I’m may be making.
What You’ll Need:
- fire roasted corn
- avocado
- green onions
- cilantro
- lime
- jalapenos or mild green chilies (optional)
Making the Recipe:
Place the corn in a small serving bowl.
Next, chop the green onions and cilantro and cube the avocado.
Add the onions, cilantro and avocado to the bowl with the corn and squeeze the lime juice over the mixture. Add in the chilies if you are using them.
Give it all a good stir and taste. You may find you want a little added salt, depending the corn you are using or a little bit more lime juice. Once the corn is to your liking, store it in the refrigerator until you are ready to serve your meal.
If you are not eating dairy free, try topping the corn with a little freshly grated cotija cheese.
