Cooking adventures in a small, closet sized, kitchen. - I came to realize that my meals were boring and that I had been eating the same few dishes over and over again for years. It was time for a change! I now spend my free time searching for, creating and trying tasty new recipes in my closet sized kitchen.

Esquites (Mexican Corn Salad) Avocado Toast

Esquites (Mexican Corn Salad) Avocado Toast

Cool and creamy avocado toast topped with esquites, a Mexican corn salad!

Avocado toast is so simple and oh so good but really it’s just a start and I always enjoy adding extra flavour! One of my favourite summer dishes is esquites (Mexican corn salad) with charred corn, mayo, lime juice and crumbled cheese! There is just something magical about the sweet charred corn, creamy mayo and tangy lime juice combo that tingles my taste buds and add a dusting of chili powder to that and my mouth is in heaven! Of course if you take two great things like avocado toast and esquites and combine them the result is something truly spectacular! You really can’t go wrong adding creamy avocado to the mix and serving it on a convenient slice of toast for easy eating! I always like to make extra esquites for quick and easy leftover esquites avocado toast for breakfast the next morning where you really just need to toast the bread and heat the corn salad!
