Ingredients
  

2 cups fresh corn kernels (about 2-3 ears of corn)

1 ripe avocado, diced

1 small red onion, finely chopped

1 jalapeño, deseeded and minced (adjust to taste)

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Juice of 1 lime

Salt, to taste

Pepper, to taste

8 small corn tortillas

1 tablespoon olive oil

Optional toppings: crumbled queso fresco, lime wedges, hot sauce

Instructions
 

Grill the Corn:

    - Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

      - Brush the corn with a little olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

        - Grill for about 8–10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the kernels are tender and slightly charred. Remove from the grill and let cool. Once cool, cut the kernels off the cob.

          Prepare the Avocado Mixture:

            - In a bowl, combine the diced avocado, chopped red onion, minced jalapeño, grilled corn, and chopped cilantro.

              - Squeeze the lime juice over the mixture and gently toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

                Warm the Tortillas:

                  - In a separate skillet, lightly toast the corn tortillas on medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until they are soft and pliable. Keep them warm by wrapping them in a clean kitchen towel.

                    Assemble the Tacos:

                      - Place a generous spoonful of the corn and avocado mixture onto each warmed tortilla.

                        - Add optional toppings like crumbled queso fresco, drizzles of hot sauce, and extra lime wedges on the side.

                          Serve:

                            - Serve the tacos immediately while warm and enjoy a burst of fresh flavors!
