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
Directions
Step 1
Peel, pit, and scoop the avocado flesh into a medium mixing bowl. Mash the avocados until smooth with some small chunks remaining for texture.
Step 2
Finely chop the cilantro and add it to the bowl.
Step 3
Remove the seeds and finely dice the jalapeño pepper, then add it to the mix.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Dice the red onion and grape tomatoes, then fold them into the mixture for a pop of color and crunch.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and sprinkle crumbled cotija cheese on top for a savory finish.
Step 8
Serve immediately with tortilla chips or refrigerate the dip for up to 2 hours to allow flavors to meld. Enjoy!
