Charred Corn Guacamole

My latest find - Better Homes and Gardens Ultimate Mexican cooking magazine. Found it at Costco, LOVE IT! It has lots of yummy recipes!

Charred Corn Guacamole
1/2 cup fresh corn kernals (1 ear) or frozen whole kernel corn
2 tsps olive oil
2 tsps lemon juice
1/4 tsp ground cumin
1/8 tsp salt
Mix in small bowl. Preheat broiler. Spread corn mixture in a shallow baking pan. Broil corn mixture 4 to 6 inches from heat for about 5 minutes until lightly charred and tender; set aside.

2 very ripe small avocados, halved, seeded, and peeled
2 TBS lime juice, or lemon juice
2/3 cup finely chopped, seeded tomato (about 2 small)
2 TBS finely chopped red onion and/or green onion (I just used green)
1 fresh jalapeno chili pepper, seeded and finely chopped
2 TBS snipped fresh cilantro
1/4 tsp kosher salt or sea salt or 1/8 tsp table salt
Few dashes of Tabasco

Place one avocado in a medium bowl. Using a fork, mash the avocado with lime juice, mixture will be lumpy. Chop remaining avocado. Stir chopped avocado, corn mixture, tomatoes, onions, jalapeno, cilantro, salt and Tabasco into mashed avocado, stirring until well mixed. Serve immediately or cover well and refrigerate for up to 4 hours. Makes about 2 cups.

* Ummm, this was SUPER yummy! Seriously, it was. We just had plain old tacos and this really added some great flavor. Took a bit of time to prepare, but soooo worth it. I didn't have a jalapeno and it still tasted great!

*And an update on the Chicken Tostada recipe, I have started added a little bit of chipotle flavoring to it to spice it up a bit. Makes it sooo much better.
