A very good guacamole recipe with nice balance of flavors and textures, also a good foundation for experimenting with variations.
Ingredients
  • 3 ears fresh corn, shucked
  • 6 avocados, diced
  • 1½ cups diced tomato
  • 2 large cloves garlic, finely minced
  • ¼ cup diced hot green chiles (or 2 tbsp minced jalapeno)
  • 1 whole lime, juiced
  • ¼ tsp ground cumin
  • ½ tsp Kosher salt
  • ½ cup chopped cilantro
  • optional: ½ tsp chipotle adobo sauce
Instructions
  1. Sear corn on high heat in a dry non-stick skillet on the stove, stirring constantly, just until starting to brown. (You can also saute in 1 tbsp oil on high heat). Another alternative is using corn grilled on the bbq just until starting to brown. Cut off the cob.
  2. In a bowl, combine all ingredients and stir gently to blend. The more you stir, the more mashed the guacamole gets.
  3. Serve with tortilla chips or crackers.
