Sweet 'n Spicy Corn Guacamole

Quick and easy, this flavorful recipe is sure to delight everyone! Sweet corn and spicy serrano chilli peppers gives this Guacamole a burst of flavor.

When buying avocados for this dip, get them ripe ... so they'll yield to gentle pressure. Hass avocados are typically deep purple in color  when ripe. If you are buying a few days in advance, then they can be firm and green and will ripen in a paper bag.

If making this recipe without onions and garlic, then add chopped green peppers for the crunch.

Sweet 'n Spicy Corn Guacamole Dip

Prep Time: 10 minutes Ready: 10 minutes
Yield: 6 appetizer servings

Ingredients

• 2 ripe Avacados
• 1 cup Sweet Yellow Corn
• 1 Lemon
• 2 Scallions (green onions)
• 2 chopped Garlic Pods
• 1/2 Medium sized Red Onion
• 1/2 Serrano Chilli Pepper
• Finely chopped Cilantro
• 1/2 tsp Cumin powder
• 1/4 tsp red Cayenne Pepper powder
• 1/2 tsp Salt (as preferred)

Method

1. Cut and mash the avocados

Hold the avocado gently and slice it length wise around the seed as shown in the picture. To remove the seed, either wedge it out with a spoon or cut the half with the seed length wise again making it easier to remove the seed. Peel the skin and mash the avocados with a fork.

2. Chop onion, garlic, serrano and scallions

Add the finely chopped garlic, serrano, scallions and red onion to the avocado mixture.

3. Add sweet corn kernels

When using frozen corn, microwave it for 1 to 2 mins, so it's moist, tender and ready to eat. Drain the water if any, and add the corn to the mix.

4. Season it with spices

Season the mix with salt, cumin and red chilli powder on to the mixture.

5. Squeeze lemon juice

Cut a lemon in half and squeeze the juice on the mixture.

6. Mix and Garnish

Stir it well and garnish it with cilantro.

Serve it with tortilla chips, crackers ... Dig in. Enjoy!
