Charred Corn & Avocado Tacos

Ingredients

• 2 cups corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
• 8 small corn or flour tortillas
• 2 ripe avocados, sliced
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1/2 red onion, finely diced
• 1 lime (juiced)
• 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
• 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
• 1/2 cup crumbled feta or cotija (optional)
• Salt to taste

Instructions

1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over high heat. Add the corn in a single layer and leave undisturbed 2-3 minutes to char, then stir and char again. Season with smoked paprika and salt.
2. Warm the tortillas in a dry pan or over an open flame until pliable and lightly toasted.
3. Toss the diced red onion with half the lime juice to quick-pickle while everything else cooks.
4. Build the tacos: sliced avocado, charred corn, pickled onion, cilantro, and cheese if using.
5. Finish with the remaining lime juice and a pinch of salt. Serve right away.
