Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ears of fresh corn, husked
  • 2 ripe avocados, diced
  • 1 small red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 jalapeño, minced (seeds removed for mild heat)
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered
  • ½ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Juice of 2 limes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 6 small corn tortillas
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil or olive oil
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Place husked corn on the grill and cook for 10-12 minutes, turning every 3-4 minutes until charred and tender. Remove and let cool slightly.
  2. Stand each ear of corn upright and carefully slice off the kernels into a large mixing bowl.
  3. Add diced avocados, chopped red onion, minced jalapeño, quartered cherry tomatoes, and chopped cilantro to the bowl with corn. Toss gently to combine without mashing the avocado.
  4. Drizzle olive oil and squeeze in juice of two limes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir gently to coat all ingredients.
  5. Cut corn tortillas into wedges (about 6 wedges per tortilla). Heat vegetable or olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  6. Fry tortilla wedges in batches for 1-2 minutes per side until golden and crisp. Remove with tongs and drain on paper towels.
  7. While chips are still warm, sprinkle with lime juice and a pinch of salt.
  8. Serve salsa in a bowl with lime chips arranged around it. Scoop and enjoy.

Notes

Prepare salsa base ahead but add avocado just before serving to keep it fresh. Lime chips are best served immediately after frying for maximum crunch. Baking chips at 375°F for 10-12 minutes is a healthier alternative to frying.
