Ingredients
  

4 ears of fresh sweet corn, husked

3 tablespoons olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon cumin

1 teaspoon chili powder

Salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

½ cup fresh cilantro, chopped

8 small corn tortillas

1 avocado, sliced

½ cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)

Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Prepare Corn: Place the husked corn on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with minced garlic, smoked paprika, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.

      Roast Corn: Roast the corn in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, turning the cobs halfway through, until they are slightly charred and tender.

        Cut the Corn: Once roasted, allow the corn to cool slightly. Using a sharp knife, cut the kernels off the cobs and place in a mixing bowl.

          Season Corn: Add lime juice and chopped cilantro to the corn, stirring until well combined. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper as needed.

            Warm Tortillas: While the corn is cooling, warm the corn tortillas on a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side or until they are soft and pliable.

              Assemble Tacos: Divide the roasted corn mixture among the warm tortillas. Top with avocado slices and sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese if desired.

                Serve: Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for an extra zesty kick.
