Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 slices bread
- 1 ripe avocado
Supporting Ingredients:
- ½ cup corn
- 2 tablespoons cotija cheese
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
Seasonings:
- ½ teaspoon chili powder
- ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon Mexican crema
- Salt to taste
- Hot sauce
Instructions
- Fire up a skillet over medium heat. Melt 1 tablespoon butter and add ½ cup corn, sauteing for 4-5 minutes until kernels turn golden and caramelized.
- Halve your ripe avocado and scoop flesh into a mixing bowl. Squeeze 1 tablespoon lime juice, sprinkle ¼ teaspoon salt, and add a pinch of chili powder. Mash with a fork until slightly chunky.
- Place 2 bread slices in a toaster and crisp at medium-high setting until edges turn deep golden brown, approximately 2-3 minutes.
- Spread your mashed avocado generously across each toasted bread slice, creating an even layer about ¼ inch thick.
- Distribute the caramelized corn evenly over the avocado layer. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons crumbled cotija cheese across the top.
- Dust the toast with ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika and additional chili powder. Drizzle 1 tablespoon Mexican crema over the surface.
- Garnish with 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro. Add a dash of hot sauce if you prefer extra heat.
- Serve immediately while toast remains crisp and toppings are warm.
Notes
- Always use ripe avocados for the creamiest, smoothest mash that spreads perfectly on toast.
- Charring corn brings out deep, smoky flavors that transform this simple toast into a street food-inspired treat.
- For a gluten-free version, swap bread with cauliflower toast or a grilled portobello mushroom base.
- Fresh cilantro and a bright lime squeeze make the entire dish pop with fresh, zesty Mexican-inspired flavors.
