**To roast your own corn**

  1. Prepare your grill, gas or charcoal, with direct, high heat, about 550 degrees F.
  2. Remove the husks from the corn. Brush with olive oil and place on the hot grill. Cover. Turn the corn occasionally, until the kernels of corn just start to char.
  3. Remove corn from grill. Let sit for 5 minutes. Use a hand towel to protect your hands while cutting the corn from the cob.

*Large avocados are recommended for this recipe. A large avocado averages about 8 ounces. If using smaller or larger size avocados adjust the quantity accordingly.
