ROASTED CORN GUACAMOLE WITH CUMIN SCENTED TORTILLA CHIPS

Category: Dips - Cold

Cumin Scented Tortilla Chips:
6 white corn tortillas
1/4 cup vegetable oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons ground cumin

Roasted Corn Guacamole:
3 avocados, peeled, seeded and coarsely chopped
2 ears corn, grilled and kernels removed
1 jalapeno, finely chopped
1/2 red onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons creme fraiche
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

For the tortilla chips: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Brush the tortillas with the oil on both sides and season one side with salt, pepper and cumin. Place on a baking sheet and bake until lightly golden brown, about 10 minutes. When cool enough to handle, cut into eighths or break into chip-size pieces.

For the guacamole: Combine the avocados, corn, jalapeno, onions, cilantro, lime juice and creme fraiche in a bowl and mix well. Season with salt and pepper. Serve with the cumin scented tortilla chips. Serves 4
