Avocado Corn Guacamole

Start to Finish: 15 minutes

Ingredients:
2 ripe avocados, peeled and pitted
1 cup fresh or frozen corn kernels
1 jalapeno pepper, stem and seeds removed, minced
The juice of half a lime
A big handful of fresh cilantro, chopped
1 small onion, peeled and minced
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:
1. Put minced onion into a sieve and rinse under cold water. This is a traditional Mexican way of removing some of the pungency from the raw onion. Drain well.
2. Mash avocados in a bowl and stir in the corn, jalapeno, lime juice, cilantro and onion. Mix well and season with salt and pepper.
3. Serve with corn chips.
4. Note: Yields approximately two cups.

Servings: 6-8

Notes: I really like this. After making it the first time I made it three other times in the next two weeks. Guacamole is good anyway, but I liked the addition of corn and lime to it.

Variations: I like guacamole after it has been chilled. Also, when making this dip for some friends visiting they said black beans would be a good addition to it. I have not tried that, but it is a suggestion.

Estimated Price: $5.00
