Description

A vibrant twist on avocado toast topped with Mexican street corn salsa—bright, creamy, and bursting with flavor.


Ingredients

  • 2 slices sandwich bread
  • 1 avocado (about ½ per toast)
  • Extra‑virgin olive oil, for drizzling
  • Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
  • For the Mexican Street Corn Salsa:
    • ½ cup corn kernels (fresh, grilled or charred; frozen thawed works too)
    • ½ jalapeño, seeded and finely diced
    • Juice of ½ lime
    • ¼ tsp chili powder
    • 2 Tbsp cotija cheese, crumbled
    • 1 Tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
    • Salt, to taste


Instructions

  1. Toast bread to desired crispiness.
  2. Meanwhile, combine corn, jalapeño, lime juice, chili powder, cotija, cilantro and salt in a bowl; adjust seasoning.
  3. Mash half an avocado onto each slice of toast; drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  4. Spoon the Mexican street corn salsa over the avocado—serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use fresh or grilled corn for best flavor; frozen corn works fine, canned adds extra brine.
  • Smaller baguette‑style bread may call for ~¼ avocado per slice.
  • Add extra lime, jalapeño or cotija to taste.
  • Optional toppings: a squeeze of lime, extra chili powder or cilantro sprigs.
