Description

A vibrant and flavorful Mexican Street-Corn Avocado Toast combines charred grilled corn with creamy avocado and zesty lime juice, topped with a hint of chili powder and fresh cilantro, served on toasted sourdough or whole grain bread for a delicious and easy-to-make snack or light meal.

Ingredients

Grilled Corn Mixture

  • 2 ears fresh corn (or 1 cup frozen/canned corn)
  • 2 ripe avocados
  • 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 1 tsp chili powder (adjust to taste)
  • ¼ cup chopped cilantro (optional)
  • Salt, to taste

Toast

  • 4 slices sourdough or whole grain bread

Instructions

  1. Grill the Corn: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the ears of corn directly on the grill and cook for about 10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the kernels are charred and tender. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly before cutting the kernels off the cob.
  2. Toast the Bread: While the corn is grilling, toast the slices of sourdough or whole grain bread until they are golden brown and crisp.
  3. Prepare the Avocado-Corn Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the charred corn kernels with diced ripe avocados. Add freshly squeezed lime juice, chili powder, chopped cilantro, and salt to taste. Gently mix all ingredients until well incorporated, taking care not to mash the avocado too much.
  4. Assemble the Toast: Spread the avocado and corn mixture generously over each slice of toasted bread, ensuring an even layer for each serving.
  5. Serve: Serve the Mexican Street-Corn Avocado Toast immediately, with extra lime juice or cilantro on the side if desired for added freshness and zest.

Notes

  • You can substitute frozen or canned corn if fresh corn is not available, just ensure it’s well-drained and optionally heated before mixing.
  • Adjust the amount of chili powder to match your preferred spice level.
  • For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free bread instead of sourdough or whole grain.
  • Adding crumbled cotija cheese or a drizzle of Mexican crema can enhance the authentic street-corn flavor.
  • This recipe is best served fresh to enjoy the crispness of the toast and the creamy texture of the avocado mixture.
