Ingredients
  

2 ears of fresh corn, husked

1 ripe avocado, diced

4 small corn tortillas

1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

1 lime, juiced

1 teaspoon chili powder

1/2 teaspoon cumin

Salt and pepper, to taste

Olive oil for grilling

Optional: Crumbled feta cheese or cotija cheese for topping

Instructions
 

Prepare the Corn: Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush the corn ears lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Grill the corn, turning occasionally, for about 10-12 minutes or until the kernels are charred and tender. Remove from the heat and let cool.

    Make the Avocado Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the diced avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, chopped red onion, and cilantro. Drizzle with lime juice and sprinkle with chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Gently toss to combine, taking care not to mash the avocado.

      Cut the Corn: Once the grilled corn has cooled enough to handle, cut the kernels off the cob using a sharp knife. Add the corn kernels to the avocado mixture and mix gently.

        Grill the Tortillas: Lightly brush the corn tortillas with olive oil and grill for about 30 seconds on each side, just until warm and slightly charred.

          Assemble the Tacos: Place a spoonful of the corn and avocado mixture onto each tortilla. Top with additional cilantro and crumbled cheese if using.

            Serve: Serve the mini tacos warm with extra lime wedges on the side for an added zing!
