Corn Guacamole Ingredients:
You’ll need all of the basic guacamole ingredients: 3 large avocados, 3 Tbsp fresh lime juice, cilantro, red onion, salt, pepper, and ground cumin. The ground cumin amplifies the flavor of corn and gives this taste like southwestern guacamole. Instead of traditional tomatoes, we add corn from two grilled corn cobs. Check out our easy tutorial on how to make Grilled Corn in Foil. We love grilled corn because you get those beautiful charred marks and a bit of smoky flavor.
Can I Use Canned or Frozen Corn?
We love this best in the warmer months when corn is in season and super sweet, but we have used organic canned or even frozen corn (cooked according to package instructions) when the craving strikes in winter. You can also use our Instant Pot Corn on the Cob if you have fresh corn and prefer not to use the grill.
