Grilled Corn Avocado Salsa
Just in time for summer, paired with tortilla chips straight from the oven this Grilled Corn Avocado Salsa will become a BBQ favourite. Need a little spice to kick it up a knotch? Just add a little more fresh jalapeño.
Tortilla Chips
4 large tortilla shells
1 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp garlic salt
- Cut into triangles using a pizza cutter, place beside each other on a cookie sheet and spray lightly with cooking spray.
- Mix spices and sprinkle over tortilla chips before placing in the oven on broil for 3-5 minutes or until golden brown. Watch to make sure they do not burn.
- Flip each chip, spray again with cooking spray and sprinkle a little more spice on the other side. Don’t over-do the spice or they will be too salty.
- Continue to broil the second side for less time, just enough to brown slightly.
- Allow to cool before serving.
Note: you will likely have left over spices unless you make a larger batch of chips.

Oh goodness…I love roasted corn. This looks awesome.
We eat homemade salsa all the time (the Mexican influence) but I never thought to add corn and my kids and husband love it. Great idea, I will definitely be trying this.
Beautiful picture and videos are always fun.
