About this Street Corn Guacamole Recipe
Traditional guacamole calls for raw onion and garlic. This recipe skips the raw onion and garlic as it has a lot of other flavors happening.
This recipe calls for finely diced red bell peppers, finely diced jalapeno, chopped cilantro, fresh squeezed lime juice and kosher salt. You’ll top this dip with grilled corn kernels and crumbled queso fresco. Queso fresco is a salty Mexican cheese. It adds so much flavor to this recipe.
Important Notes
When dicing fresh jalapeno, be sure to remove the seeds and veins on the inside of the jalapeno. This will reduce the heat level in the jalapeno. That said, if you like it spicy, you can leave the seeds and veins in the recipe. Just be sure not to touch your eyes after handling the jalapeno. It’s probably best practice to wear gloves.
Top this easy guacamole recipe with a few extra leaves of fresh cilantro. You can also chop the cilantro and mix it into the recipe. Not a fan of fresh cilantro, no worries. Simply leave it out of the recipe all together. With or without the cilantro, this recipe combines tasty street corn with traditional guacamole for the perfect flavor match up.
Storage
Store any leftover guacamole in an airtight container in the refrigerator for two to three days. If it igets too much oxygen, the avocado will begin to brown. One way to prevent browning is to squeeze a thin layer of lime juice over the top of the guacamole. Or, you can add a thin layer of plastic wrap to the top of the guacamole before sealing it closed.
