Ingredients
- 2 ears of corn (1 cup kernels) (see notes)
- 3 ripe avocados cut in half
- 4 tablespoons lime juice plus more to taste
- ¼ cup red onion chopped

Instructions
- Grill corn over medium-high heat until lightly charred making sure to turn it every 2 minutes to ensure even cooking. Remove from the grill and set aside to cool. Cut the kernels off of the cob into a bowl and set it aside.
- Place avocados and lime juice in a large bowl. Using a potato masher or the back of a fork, mash avocados to your liking. Chunky or creamy, whichever you prefer.
- Add in the grilled corn, red onion, tomatoes, cilantro, salt, pepper, cumin, and garlic. Give it a stir. Taste for seasoning and add more if necessary.
- Transfer the guacamole to a serving bowl and sprinkle the top with some cojita cheese and a little cumin, if using. Serve with tortilla chips on the side.
