- 1 lime, juice only
- 1 clove garlic, small
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp mexican oregano
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
- Grill the corn until slightly blistered and fully cooked, turning often for even grilling, about 10 minutes. Let cool and cut off kernels.
- In a large bowl, combine grilled corn, diced avocados, red onion, green chili, cilantro, Cotija cheese, and pumpkin seeds.

Letting the salad rest enhances the flavor.
