GUACAMOLE WITH GRILLED CORN

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for medium heat. Lightly brush the corn with oil and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon of the chipotle powder and 1/8 teaspoon of the coriander. Grill the corn, scallions and tomatoes until the vegetables are all slightly charred, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let cool.
• Halve and pit the avocados. Scoop out the insides, put in a large bowl and mash with a fork until slightly chunky. Coarsely chop the scallions and tomatoes and cut the kernels off the corn cob. Add the vegetables to the bowl along with the cilantro, jalapeno, lime juice and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon chipotle and 1/8 teaspoon coriander. Stir to combine and season with salt. Serve with tortilla chips.

GRILLED CORN AND CHORIZO QUESO

Steps:

• Preheat a grill pan over medium to medium-high heat.
• Place a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, add the chorizo and begin to brown it as it heats up.
• Meanwhile, toss the corn, jalapenos and onion with the olive oil. Season with the fajita seasoning and a pinch of salt and pepper. Place on the grill pan and cook until grill marks form and the vegetables have softened, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Set aside.
• Once the chorizo is browned, after 7 to 8 minutes, drain off all but a couple of tablespoons of the fat. Add the diced cheese, tomatoes and green chiles and chopped green chiles, juices and all. Cook, stirring occasionally, while the cheese melts and everything comes together.
• While the cheese is melting, remove the corn from the cob and dice the onion and jalapenos. Stir the vegetables into the queso.
• Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. Serve immediately with chips or transfer to a crockpot and keep on low until ready to eat.

GRILLED GUACAMOLE AND GRILLED QUESO DIP

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill to medium heat.
• Place the jalapeños, onions, tomatoes, avocados and limes on a baking sheet and brush lightly with olive oil. Transfer the jalapeños, onions, tomatoes (cut-side down), avocados (cut-side down) and limes (cut-side down) to the grill. Grill the jalapeños and onions, turning occasionally, until charred and crisp-tender, 6 to 7 minutes. Grill the tomatoes, turning once, until charred and the skins have started to pull away, 3 to 4 minutes. Grill the avocados and limes just enough to mark them, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer each ingredient as it is ready to a cutting board and set aside until cool enough to handle. If your grill doesn't have a side burner, leave the grill on.
• Finely chop the jalapeños. Coarsely chop the onions. Remove the skins from the tomatoes (if some of the skin sticks, that's fine) and coarsely chop. Scoop the avocado into a medium bowl and coarsely mash with a fork. Squeeze in the juice from the grilled limes and season with 1 teaspoon salt. Add the cilantro and half of the jalapeños, onions and tomatoes and stir to combine. Set the guacamole aside.
• Increase the heat of the grill to high (or turn on the side burner). Place the cream, cream cheese and chili powder in a medium saucepan and cook on the grill, whisking, until smooth and bubbly, 2 to 5 minutes. Whisk in the Cheddar and Monterey Jack in handfuls, letting one melt before adding the next, until thick and smooth. Add the remaining jalapeños, onions and tomatoes and cook, stirring, until just heated through, about 30 seconds. Season with salt to taste. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve immediately with the guacamole and tortilla chips.

GAMEDAY GUACAMOLE

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to broil.
• Add the corn and bell and poblano peppers to a baking sheet and toss with the olive oil. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Broil the vegetables, turning occasionally, until charred, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove and allow to cool slightly.
• While the vegetables cool, halve the avocados and remove the pits. Remove the insides from the skin and add to a bowl. Add the tomatoes, lime juice, cilantro and adobo sauce along with a pinch of salt and pepper. Mash with a fork until you achieve your desired consistency. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
• Remove the corn from the cob, then seed and dice the peppers, removing some of the loose skin if desired. Fold into the avocado mixture. Serve with tortilla chips.

CHARRED PINEAPPLE GUACAMOLE

Steps:

• Heat a well-oiled grill or grill pan to high heat. Combine the chili lime seasoning and chili powder in a small bowl. Coat pineapple rings evenly in this mixture. Grill on both sides until grill-marked and charred, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Let cool, then dice.
• Scoop flesh of 2 avocados into a bowl, then mash. Dice the remaining avocado. Add it to the bowl, then stir in the lime juice, minced cilantro, chile, half of the charred pineapple and salt and pepper to taste. Top with the remaining charred pineapple, a sprinkling of chili lime seasoning and a couple of cilantro leaves. Serve with chips alongside.
