Mexican Grilled Corn Avocado Toast.
I’ve got your ideal margarita best friend.
Besides a straw.
It’s toast! Not just any toast. Toast with smashed avocado and grilled, charred, buttery corn. Crumbly, fresh cheese. Spices and herbs. Lime and salt.
Oh my!
Pass the tequila.
We’re starting Friday with a no-recipe recipe. You know? Like no-makeup makeup? I mean, which is kind of BS since the true no-makeup look actually takes quite a beeeet of makeup.
Welp. Just like that. A no-recipe recipe takes quite a few ingredients. Not tons, but a few. Especially WHEN IT’S THIS DELICIOUS.
I mean, let’s be real. This is much more of a no-recipe recipe than the bowl of peanut butter filled pretzels I ate with a few chocolate chips while finding myself in an iTunes throwback vortex that consisted of How Bizarre on repeat. This actually requires work other than “open bag, pour contents into bowl.”
Just looooooook at that melty, smoky butter drizzling down the corn.
I can’t.
I’m a little nutty over grilled corn – you may know this. And I think I’m starting a bit early this year but my grocery store had corn on the cob that ended up NOT being atrocious and we’ve been all about grilling everything (salads please) lately so it just worked. I had some leftover grilled corn come Monday morning and I knew exactly where it was going.
On the avocado.
Which was on the toast.
And into my face.
I originally had a fabulous dessert planned for today (think: DONUTS!) but after making this for lunch earlier this week, I couldn’t go one more day without sharing. GAH. It is truly such a wonderful meal/snack/lunch/whatever. It’s filling and tastes so so so so good. Yep, GOOD. I couldn’t let you go one more day without knowing about it’s existence. Please make it this weekend and report back? The flavor is unreeeeeeeal. I’ll bring you a margarita.
Mexican Grilled Corn Avocado Toast
Ingredients
grilled corn
- 2 ears sweet corn
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- To grill the corn, rub the ears with the olive oil. Lately, I’ve been grilling my corn without the husks on and without foil, so it takes only a few minutes. Place the ears on the grill and cook until the corn is golden or charred – whichever you prefer – turning the ears as you go. Remove them from the grill and let cool slightly. Stir together the butter, paprika, salt and pepper, then butter the corn. Let it sit for a few more minutes before slicing the kernels from the cob into a bowl or plate. This helps keep the buttery flavor and seasonings with the corn.
- In a bowl, mash the avocados with the salt, pepper and the juice from one lime wedge. Spread the mash evenly on the toast then top with a few huge spoonfuls of the corn, a few sprinkles of the queso fresco, a sprinkling of cilantro and a tiny pinch more of smoked paprika. Hit with one more spritz of lime. DEVOUR

Ok, I’m 100% sure this will be my new obsession too! I grew up in Chicago where they had the best street corn, so I’m a big fan. Now add avocado and toast, OMG, I’m legit needing this stat!
Just wanted to come back and tell you that I made this and it was SOOOOOO GOOD! I didn’t have time to bust out the grill, so I just used frozen corn and microwaved it – the whole meal was done in like 5 minutes, and was so delicious!
And now I won’t be able to stop thinking about this avocado toast. I mean, like ever. I plan on eating this every day this summer. That’s healthy, right?
Epic toast. And I used to LOVE that “How Bizarre” song – I remember listening to it on the school bus, hahahaha.
This toasty goodness is E’RYTHANG! I adore avocado toast, but I have never jazzed it up with corn. AND grilled corn for that matter!? Totally dying over this. Pinned!
I’ve been loving grilled corn and avocados together, awesome idea to add it on toast!! Def have to give this a try :)
Dreamy is right! Oh man, now that I wrote dreamy I’m thinking about McDreamy and getting all wishy washy again. Like WHY do they do this to us!!! I’m all tore up inside. I need a margarita and toast!
Dang! I think I’m in love. This would make an awesome appetizer or snack. I probably would eat the entire loaf of bread. :D
SERVES 2 OR 4 (HOW MUCH TOAST YOU WANNA EAT?)
ALL THE TOAST!!
I seriously want every single one of your recipes in. man. belly! This one is totally dreamy. I love no-recipes. So simple and easy, and I’m all about easy sometimes! The best part is that even though it’s simple, it’s still packed with flavor. I love it. Can’t wait to eat this for the next two weeks!
I always LOVE seeing your serving suggestions. Connor and I eat like we’re pre-pubescent teenage boys (even i do, especially now that the wedding is over!), so anything that’s for 4 is automatically understood as serving 2 ;)
You need to get on Spotify! I listened to the #ThrowbackThursday channel yesterday, and got sucked in.

This looks perfect. I used to teach first grade in Houston and after school the ice cream truck would come. In addition to ice cream they sold giant styrofoam cups of corn off-the-cob with mayo, parmesan cheese, and chile on top. It was surprisingly delicious, and so funny to see kids walking around with that in the afternoon instead of popsicles! This is totally the sophisticated and way more scrumptious version of that.
Funny you were planning to post donuts–I just posted my first donut recipe today! I’m super excited about the color of the glaze (it’s so purple!).
I think your grilled corn on everything and anything is coming back, no? lol and that makes me so happy, because I love grilled corn. This toast is perfection!
Seriously, such perfection — This would be perfect served on crusty bread at a bar-be-que. Ahhhhh I’m SO ready for summer/ spring!!
Grilled corn with butter!! Summer, here I come!
You took the words right out of my mouth. This and a margarita would be PERF together. I am so down with this!
Drool… avocado is the best, never thought of putting it with corn on toast though! I will have to try this!
This is the kind of dish I could eat every single day! So delicious!
This look sooooo good. I love avocado toast and grilled corn is always yummy.
I just found your blog and am obsessed. Let me be clear- I can barely cook and live in a pint size NYC apartment with a bathroom bigger than my kitchen. But your wit and the way you write is hilarious and approachable for a domestic-newbie like myself. I am getting married this year and am determined to wow my fiance (who grew up in restaurants and is an amazing chef) with some good eats, and I think your blog may be the way to get me through it! Thank you so much and yes I will attempt to make this toast this weekend and let you know how it goes. (I don’t have a grill obv- any crappy apartment ways to get around this?)
Thanks!

Everything you make looks epic! I made your fig honey cheese dip thing for a party recently and everyone *raved* about it!
Yesss. Everything about this screams margs and I kind of love it. Plus, grilled corn reminds me of Nacho Libre, and as much as I’m embarrassed to admit it, I have a real soft for the movie. “Get the corn out of my face!” Although, I’d rather have that corn in my face.
What a perfect summer combination! I might have to try the corn & avocado mix over a big salad of crispy romaine too.
Oh my WORD, dreamy is right! I freaking love grilled corn. And avocado. And butter. Gimme.
I need THIS in my life! PRONTO! Get in my belly. :o)
I want this right nowww!!! And it’s so pretty too!

TrI’d it on a tostada
Damn it! When did toast become hazardous?! lol! This looks amazing, thanks for sharing!!
I’ve got everything but queso fresco, once I get some of that, this toast is MINE!
We LOVE avo toasties! This one sounds amazing. To really punch it up, take a fresh clove of garlic, cut it in half and run it over the freshly toasted bread. Add your stuff and man oh man, are you in heaven!
THAT. CORN.
Obsessed. <3
OMG. Reading this actually has me drooling right now. Looks amazing!
Avocado toast is one of my favorite treats. This is just like woah!
Color me toasty. (wait, what was that mean?)
