Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes. Toss in ½ cup corn and char until golden brown, stirring occasionally.

- Optional: Drizzle 1 tablespoon Mexican crema or hot sauce on top for extra zest.
- Serve immediately while toast remains crisp and corn is warm.
Notes
- Corn selection matters, so choose fresh sweet corn for the best caramelized flavor and texture.
- Toast bread until deeply golden and crisp to create a sturdy base that won’t get soggy under the creamy avocado.
- When charring corn, watch carefully and stir occasionally to prevent burning while developing rich, smoky notes.
- For gluten-free version, swap bread with corn tortillas or use gluten-free bread slices to accommodate dietary needs.
