What’s a simple corn and avocado salsa for tacos?

Fresh corn and avocado salsa for tacos

This no-cook salsa is bright and creamy, perfect for topping tacos, grilled fish, or chicken. Use fresh, roasted, or thawed frozen corn.

Quick assembly:

  • Combine corn kernels with diced avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, finely chopped red onion, and chopped cilantro.
  • Add lime juice, a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss gently to avoid mashing the avocado.

Optional flavor boosts:

  • Add minced jalapeño or a pinch of cayenne for heat.
  • A splash of vinegar or a dash of honey balances flavors.
  • Crumbled cotija or feta adds savory saltiness.

Tips:

  • Prepare avocado last and cut just before serving to avoid browning.
  • Chill briefly to let flavors meld but serve within a few hours for best texture.

This salsa is fast, colorful, and enhances tacos with sweet, creamy, and tangy notes.
