We may not eat quite as much corn as our friends to the south, for whom it’s a major food staple, but the golden grain still holds a precious place on our plates—every year, we eagerly await corn-on-the-cob season with bated (and buttered) breath. After charring our cobs for a quick 10 minutes on the BBQ, we smeared them in a delectable mix of sour cream, mayo, garlic, chili and cilantro. We dare you to eat just one.

Aguacate con Camarones y Tortillas Fritas (Grilled Avocado with Shrimp and Crispy Tortilla Strips)
On the Mexican coast, shrimp and avocado go hand-in-hand. We celebrate this holy union in an ultra-simple recipe that’s guaranteed to stop your guests in their tracks.

Mix its mellow loveliness with some snappy shrimp, plus the incredible crunch of tortillas that are julienned and toasted until golden, and you’ve got a textural fiesta in every bite.
