  1. To grill the corn, rub the ears with the olive oil. Lately, I’ve been grilling my corn without the husks on and without foil, so it takes only a few minutes. Place the ears on the grill and cook until the corn is golden or charred – whichever you prefer – turning the ears as you go. Remove them from the grill and let cool slightly. Stir together the butter, paprika, salt and pepper, then butter the corn. Let it sit for a few more minutes before slicing the kernels from the cob into a bowl or plate. This helps keep the buttery flavor and seasonings with the corn.
  2. In a bowl, mash the avocados with the salt, pepper and the juice from one lime wedge. Spread the mash evenly on the toast then top with a few huge spoonfuls of the corn, a few sprinkles of the queso fresco, a sprinkling of cilantro and a tiny pinch more of smoked paprika. Hit with one more spritz of lime. DEVOUR
