Notes

Corn: This recipe calls for four ears of cooked corn on the cob. I like to use this recipe to cook my corn in an air fryer, but it can also be boiled or grilled if preferred. Just don’t cook it too long so the corn is still on the crispy side. Thawed frozen corn or canned corn can also be used. You’ll need two cups of corn. 

Avocados: Use two large, firm avocados. We want these to stay fresh for at least a couple of days.
