3 tsp. lime juice
1 Tbsp. cilantro, chopped

Cooking Instructions

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Prepare Grilled Corn Salsa: Rub the corn with the oil and sprinkle with seasonings.
• Grill over an open flame grill until evenly marked and cooked throughout. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
• Once cool, cut the corn from the cob and add to the fresh salsa in a 1:1 ratio. Add the vinegar and adjust seasonings to taste.
• Meanwhile, combine all taquitos ingredients except tortillas and oil in a large mixing bowl and chill in refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to allow ingredients to settle.
• Divide mixture into twelve cigar shaped portions. Roll each portion in a lightly oiled tortilla. Place taquitos, seam side down, on a lightly oiled baking sheet.
• Bake in a 350°F oven for 12-15 minutes or until tortilla shells are lightly browned and the internal temperature is 165 degrees.
• Meanwhile, prepare Chipotle Avocado Mayonnaise by combining all ingredients in a small mixing bowl.
• To assemble: Place the corn salsa underneath the taquitos (cut taquitos on the diagonal and stack four halves per serving).
• Dollop the avocado mayo next to each taquito half.
