ingredients
- 4 medium avocados, halved and pitted
- 3 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 tablespoons white onion, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup cilantro, finely chopped
- 1 jalapeño, seeds and ribs removed, finely chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- pinch of cayenne pepper
- 1/4 cup cotija cheese
- 1/2 cup corn, charred
- 2 strips bacon
- 2 tablespoons red pickled onion
- 5 cherry tomatoes, chopped
- Tortilla chips for serving
Method
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Step 2
Arrange the 2 strips of bacon on a baking sheet. Use aluminum foil as a liner. If you have an oven proof rack, you can put it between the bacon and the aluminum foil
Step 3
Bake until the bacon is deep golden-brown and crispy – about 15 to 20 minutes. But, make sure you start to check the oven after the first 10 minutes.
Step 4
Remove the bacon and leave it outside to cool down. Crumble in small pieces.
Step 5
Char the corn: Place the corn in a small frying pan on high heat. Leave it alone for a couple of minutes until you see them get a char, and then stir to get the other side the same way. Leave it aside to cool down.
Step 6
Making the best guacamole: Cut the avocados lengthwise. Remove the pit with a knife and spoon-out the meat. Place it in a small bowl and mash the avocado with a potato masher. Leave the avocado in small chunks.
Step 7
Start to add the seasoning: lime juice, salt, ground cumin, ground coriander, cayenne, chopped cilantro, chopped jalapeño, and chopped onion. Mix well.
Step 8
Add half of the crumbled bacon and half of the charred corn. Mix well until is well combined.
Step 9
Presenting the guacamole: Place the guacamole in a small bowl with a wide opening.
Step 10
Garnish with the other half of the charred corn & crumbled bacon.
Step 11
Sprinkle on cotija cheese, chopped cilantro and the chopped pickled red onion.
