Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

  • 6 small corn tortillas
  • 1 ripe avocado, diced
  • 1 cup sweet corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
  • 1/2 red onion, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup sour cream (optional)
  • For the Spiced Lime Drizzle:
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Cut each corn tortilla into quarters to form small triangles.
  3. Arrange tortilla triangles on a baking sheet and lightly brush with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes or until golden and crispy, flipping halfway through.
  5. In a mixing bowl, combine diced avocado, corn, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Gently toss to combine.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together the olive oil, chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, lime juice, and salt for the spiced lime drizzle.
  7. Once the tortilla chips are baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.
  8. Top each crispy tortilla triangle with the avocado-corn salsa and drizzle generously with the spiced lime sauce. Serve immediately.

Notes

Storage: These bites are best enjoyed fresh, but the salsa can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Assemble just before serving to keep the tortillas crispy.

For the freshest taste, use ripe avocados and sweet corn. You can substitute canned corn with grilled corn for an added smoky flavor. If you prefer a bit of heat, feel free to add diced jalapeños into the salsa mixture.

These bites are best served immediately, but if you need to prepare them in advance, keep the salsa separate and assemble just before serving to maintain the crispiness.
