Ingredients
For the Guacamole
- 3 ripe avocados
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 1 lime, juiced
- 2 teaspoons chopped jalapeño
- 2 ears corn, husks and silks removed
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Dalkin & Co Chile Lime Seasoning
- Flaky salt and pepper to taste
For the Chips
- Vegetable oil or avocado oil (for frying, about ½ inch in skillet)
- 6 small corn tortillas
- 1 teaspoon Dalkin & Co Chile Lime Seasoning
- 1 teaspoon flaky sea salt
Instructions
- Make the Chips: Cut tortillas into triangles (about 6 per tortilla). In a heavy-bottomed skillet, heat ½ inch of vegetable oil over high heat until shimmering. Fry the tortilla triangles in batches for about 1 minute per side until golden and crisp. Transfer chips to a paper towel-lined plate.
- Season the Chips: In a small bowl, mix the Dalkin & Co Chile Lime seasoning with the flaky salt. Immediately sprinkle the seasoning mix over the hot chips. Let cool completely to ensure crispiness.
- Char the Corn: Brush the ears of corn with olive oil and season with flaky salt and a pinch of Dalkin & Co Chile Lime seasoning. Grill the corn over medium-high heat for 3 minutes per side until lightly charred. Allow the corn to cool slightly, then cut the kernels off the cob carefully.
- Make the Guacamole: In a large bowl, combine the ripe avocados, lemon juice, lime juice, chopped jalapeño, Dalkin & Co Chile Lime seasoning, flaky salt, and freshly ground pepper. Mash the mixture to your desired consistency, then fold in the charred corn kernels gently to preserve texture.
- Serve: Serve the fresh charred corn guacamole immediately accompanied by the homemade chile lime chips for the best flavor and texture experience.
Notes
- Using homemade tortilla chips enhances freshness and flavor, but you can substitute your favorite store-bought chips if preferred.
- This guacamole also makes a great topping for tacos or nachos.
- Adjust the jalapeño quantity to control the heat level based on your preference.
- For a vegetarian and gluten-free snack, ensure the seasoning and chips meet those criteria if substituting ingredients.
