Directions
Step 1
In a medium bowl, combine the olive oil, chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.

Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, avocado, and corn. Add the lime juice and gently toss to coat the ingredients evenly.
