Chipotle Roasted Corn Avocado Toast

Ingredients

Roasted Corn:

• 2 small/medium ears of corn or 1 cup frozen corn
• 1/2 tsp chipotle pepper powder
• 1/2 tsp or more smoked paprika
• 1/4 tsp or more black pepper
• 1/4 tsp or more salt

Toast:

• Multigrain bread or ciabatta slices
• 2 ripe avocados, mashed
• 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
• 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
• lime juice or lemon juice to taste

Steps

Roast the corn:

1. Slice the kernels from the corn cobs, or use frozen kernels, and put them into a heavy-bottomed skillet over high heat. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until most kernels have browned. Alternatively, grill the corn ears on a grill or over a gas flame to your preferred degree of grilling; shuck the grilled corn and toss it with the spices.
2. Mix the spices into the corn in the roasting pan until well coated. Cook for a minute or until the spices begin to smell roasted.

Prep the toast:

1. Lightly toast your chosen bread. Spread it with a layer of mashed avocado, then a layer of the smoky roasted corn. Sprinkle with chopped onion, cilantro, lime juice, and a pinch of salt, then serve.
