OH MY GUACAMOLE.

Let’s just get in to this. I’m not going to waste ANY time. I need to tell you about this Charred Poblano and Corn Guacamole.

This stuff is what guacamole dreams are made of. It is SO FREAKING GOOD!

Ok, let’s talk stats, shall we?

• Avocados. Duh.
• Cilantro. A must.
• Garlic & red onion. The pair belong together.
• Lime juice. Required in guacamole. No way around it.
• Smoky charred poblano peppers. I’ll say that again so you heard me. SMOKY CHARRED POBLANO PEPPERS.
• Grilled sweet corn on the cob. I will not repeat myself this time.

You guys. This RECIPE! It seriously is too good to be true.

But it IS true, so get with the program and listen up! You’re about to be famous. Famous for bringing the most delicious and unexpected appetizer to your next gathering.

You’re welcome. I truly aim to serve.

If you’re feeling SPICY (can I get a raised hand, please?) do yourself a favor and add some jalapeño in. The poblano peppers don’t carry any heat – think of them like a bell pepper. So if heat is your game, add those jalapeños (or habañeros, if you dare!).

I must have died and gone to Guacamole Heaven. Excuse me while I dive right in…

• 3 avocados
• 2 cloves garlic minced

Instructions

For the charred poblanos and corn:

• Preheat grill to medium high heat.

• Peel corn: remove silks, but keep husks. You'll re-wrap the corn in its husk while it grills.
• Place poblanos on grill, allow to cook for 5 minutes, flipping once. Peppers will have nice char on them. Move them to the top rack of your grill, and add corn.
• Allow to cook, turning a few times, for about 15 minutes. Kernels will be bright yellow and slightly charred when done. Allow to cool slightly before removing husks.

For the guacamole:

• In a large bowl, add avocados, garlic, red onion, and cilantro.
• Once cooled, chop poblanos and add to bowl. Place a smaller bowl or dish in the larger bowl. place corn cob on dish, and shave corn kernels off in to the bowl. This makes sure your corn isn't bouncing all over your cutting board!
• Mix gently, seasoning with salt and lime juice. Serve with tortilla chips and sliced cucumber and jicama topped with Tajin seasoning!
