OK, so how to? Here we go:
Raw Corn, 1 cob, kernels removed
1 medium tomato, diced
Avocado, 1/2 fruit (yes, it's a fruit!) cubed
Herbs/Spices (I used Trader Joe's 21 Spice Salute)
Salt, to taste
You'll also need: Tortillas, like the Udi's ones, your favorite shredded cheese, sour cream, and some greens.
Enjoy, with a side of awesome imperfection,

Corn, Tomato and Avocado Salad:

Slice your avocado across both ways, then use a large spoon to scoop along the skin. |
Assuming you've chopped all your veggies, let's combine them all in a bowl, shall we? Add your herbs and spices-- if I had fresh on hand that would include roughly chopped cilantro, basil and a crap ton (technical measurement term) of freshly cracked black pepper. Now, salt to taste (this means we get to taste, which I love most!). Now-- this is what I'd add, having tasted it. A little squeeze of some kind of fresh citrus, probably lime. With the rich taste of the tortillas and the cheese, it really does need just a touch of acid.
OK. Now that we've prepped our filling, let's heat up a tiny bit of olive oil in a large skillet-- I classed up the joint by using a crepe pan, so just try to keep up. You want to watch for little bubbles to start to form before you flip the tortillas, just like when you're making pancakes. Once you've flipped, go ahead and turn off the burner and grab your cheese. Sprinkle a little on each tortilla and grab yourself a clean bowl. Carefully put your tortillas in the bowl and fill each one with a few spoonfuls of your corn salad. Separate them with some greens (a 10 for presentation, friends!) and add a dollop of sour cream to top 'er off.

Looks aMAHzing! Where can I find the Udi's tortillas?? Gracias!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I found the tortillas at a local Whole Foods in the frozen gluten free bread section. They can also be found by clicking here: http://udisglutenfree.com/product-category/tortillas/
