Elote-Style Guacamole salsa

Ingredients

For the Guacamole Salsa:

• 3 ripe avocados, peeled, pitted, and mashed
• 1 cup corn kernels (use fresh, frozen, or roasted for added flavor)
• 1 medium tomato, diced
• 1 small red onion, finely chopped
• ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1–2 tbsp mayonnaise (optional for extra creaminess)
• 1–2 tbsp fresh lime juice
• 1–2 tsp chili powder or Tajín seasoning (for added flavor)
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Tortilla chips (for dipping)

Optional Garnishes:

• Crumbled queso fresco or cotija cheese
• Extra cilantro or lime wedges
• A sprinkle of chili powder

Prepare the Corn:

If using fresh corn, grill the ears until slightly charred, then cut the kernels off the cob. If using frozen corn, heat the corn in a skillet or microwave until cooked. If you want to add a smoky flavor, you can lightly char the kernels in a hot pan or grill.

Mash the Avocados:

In a large bowl, mash the avocados with a fork or potato masher, leaving some chunks for texture.

Mix in the Ingredients:

Add the corn kernels, diced tomato, red onion, and cilantro to the mashed avocado. If using, add the mayonnaise for creaminess.

Season the Guacamole:

Add lime juice, chili powder (or Tajín), garlic powder, salt, and pepper to taste. Stir everything together until combined.

Garnish:

For extra flavor and authenticity, top the guacamole with crumbled queso fresco or cotija cheese, a sprinkle of chili powder, and more cilantro. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
