Mexican street corn-inspired chili lime avocado toast.
The Deets
Inspired by the traditional Mexican street food snack Elote, this delicious chili lime avocado and corn toast is a mouthwatering treat that’s perfect for summer! 🤩 This dish is bursting with vibrant flavors and serves as a fantastic way to utilize late summer corn while celebrating the essence of this classic snack.
To create this delightful toast, I started with fresh corn, which I baked to perfection with a generous pat of butter, zesty lime juice, and @urbanaccentsspices Chili Lime Corn on the Cob seasoning. The combination of these ingredients creates an irresistible flavor profile that captures the essence of Elote, where sweet corn meets savory and spicy notes. The seasoning itself is a standout; it combines chili powder, lime, and other spices to create a balanced blend that elevates the taste of the corn to a whole new level. It’s so versatile that you can use it not just for this toast, but also for classic corn-on-the-cob, grilled vegetables, or even as a seasoning for popcorn for a fun twist!
Once the corn is beautifully roasted and infused with all those amazing flavors, it’s time to assemble the toast. I used a thick slice of crusty bread as the base, which provides the perfect crunch and supports the toppings beautifully. The warm, buttery corn is then generously piled onto the toast, allowing it to shine as the star ingredient.
Next, I added creamy avocado slices on top. The richness of the avocado adds a luscious texture that beautifully complements the sweet and spicy corn. Together, they create a delightful harmony of flavors and textures that make each bite truly satisfying. For an extra burst of flavor, I drizzled a bit more lime juice over the top and garnished with fresh cilantro, which adds a refreshing herbaceous note.
This chili lime avocado and corn toast is not just a dish; it’s an experience! Whether enjoyed as a light lunch, a snack, or even as a flavorful appetizer at a gathering, it’s sure to impress anyone who tries it. Plus, it’s incredibly easy to prepare, making it a perfect choice for busy weekdays or leisurely weekend brunches. So if you’re looking for a delicious way to celebrate the flavors of summer and enjoy the bounty of fresh produce, give this toast a try—you won’t be disappointed! Enjoy every flavorful bite!
