Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole ripe avocados
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 bunch cilantro
- 1 whole jalapeño pepper
- 0.5 cup red onion
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup grape tomatoes
- 0.25 cup cotija cheese
- 0.5 cup corn kernels (fresh or canned)
- 1 bag tortilla chips
Instructions
Peel, pit, and scoop the avocado flesh into a medium mixing bowl. Mash the avocados until smooth with some small chunks remaining for texture.
Finely chop the cilantro and add it to the bowl.
Remove the seeds and finely dice the jalapeño pepper, then add it to the mix.
Add the Greek yogurt, lime juice, cumin powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Dice the red onion and grape tomatoes, then fold them into the mixture for a pop of color and crunch.
If using fresh corn, quickly sauté the kernels in a dry skillet until lightly charred, about 3-4 minutes. Allow them to cool, then stir them into the dip.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and sprinkle crumbled cotija cheese on top for a savory finish.
Serve immediately with tortilla chips or refrigerate the dip for up to 2 hours to allow flavors to meld. Enjoy!
