- Neutral oil for brushing
Avocado and Corn Salsa
- 1 medium ripe avocado
- 1/2 cup sweet corn kernels
- 1/4 cup cooked black beans (or other beans of choice - optional)
- 2 tbsp red bell pepper diced
- 1/2 small red onion diced
- 1/4-1/3 cup chopped cilantro
- 1 lime for the juice and some zest
- 1 jalapeño or green chili sliced (remove seeds if you want less less spice)
- 1/4 to 1/2 tsp salt or more to taste
- Ground black pepper
Instructions
WONTON CUPS
- Prepare the wonton cups: If your wrappers were frozen, ensure that they are thawed at room temperature so that these are pliable, or else these can easily tear.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Brush or spray a thin layer of oil in each well of a 12-well muffin tin. Carefully press down each wonton wrapper into the well. Brush or spray another thin layer of oil over each wonton wrapper.
- Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the wonton wrappers are golden brown. Remove from the oven and let the tin cool for 5 minutes before removing the wonton cups.
- You can prepare these wonton cups a day before and just store the cups in an air-tight container. Be sure that the cups have completely cooled before sealing the container. You can leave these at room temperature.
AVOCADO AND CORN SALSA
- Slice and open your avocado. Remove the skin and then cut the flesh into small chunks.
- Place the avocado in a large bowl with the corn kernels, black beans (if using), bell pepper, onion, cilantro, lemon juice, and zest, jalapeño/chili, salt, and pepper to taste.
- Mix the salsa well and feel free to adjust to your taste.
- This is best enjoyed freshly made but you can also refrigerate this for a few hours until cold (Do note that the corn and bell pepper can release extra water as it sits).
- Scoop a generous amount in each wonton cup. These should be enjoyed immediately since the longer the salsa sits in the wonton cup, the more the wonton cup will absorb the extra moisture and will no longer be as crisp.
- The avocado and corn salsa can be store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Discoloration is normal as the avocado is exposed to air.
