Ingredients

  • 1 poblano pepper roasted and diced (see directions below)
  • 4 avocados halved, pits removed
  • 1/4 cup cilantro minced
  • 3-4 Tbsp white onion finely diced
  • 1-2 limes juiced
  • 1-2 ears sweet corn charred, kernels sliced off (see directions below)
  • pinch of salt to taste
  • Chopped tomatoes for garnish
  • Food Should Taste Good Cantina Tortilla Chips

Instructions

  • TO ROAST POBLANO PEPPER:
  • Preheat oven to 475 degrees and line a baking sheet with foil. Place pepper on prepared baking sheet and roast for 30-40 minutes, turning every 15 minutes to ensure even roasting.
  • When pepper is done, place in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let sit for 20-30 minutes.
  • Lightly rub the roasted skin between your fingers (if you have latex gloves, they come in handy here!), to peel the skin off.
  • Slice pepper open and remove seeds.
  • Dice and set aside.
  • TO CHAR CORN:
  • Add 1/2 Tbsp butter and a small drizzle of oil to a skillet and heat over MED to MED-HIGH heat. Shuck corn, if necessary, and place corn ears in the skillet. Cook, turning to char all sides, about 5-10 minutes, until golden brown marks are made.
  • Remove to a plate to cool for a few minutes.
  • Carefully slice charred kernels off the cob and set aside.
  • TO MAKE GUACAMOLE:
  • Scoop out avocados into a bowl and add cilantro, onion, lime juice and salt. Use a fork or potato masher to mash ingredients to desired texture.
  • Stir in chopped poblanos and corn and garnish with chopped tomatoes.

Notes
