For the Corn
- 6 ears Corn cleaned and shucked
- 2 tablespoons Avocado Oil

- 1 teaspoon Chili Powder
- 1 cup Cherry Tomatoes sliced in half
- 2/3 cup Red Onion diced
- 1/2 cup Cilantro fresh, roughly chopped

Grill Instructions
Preheat the grill to 400 F. Prepare the corn by rubbing with the avocado oil. Mix together the cumin, chili powder, salt and pepper in a small bowl then rub each ear of corn with the mixture.
Wrap each corn ear in a foil pack then grill 20 minutes, flipping slightly every 5 minutes.
When the corn is finished cooking, remove from the grill. Carefully, unwrap each foil pack and cool for 5 minutes. Once the corn is cool enough to handle, use a knife to cut the kernels from the cob into a bowl.
Prepare the Greek yogurt sauce for the corn by mixing the ingredients for the sauce together in a medium bowl.
Add the corn, tomatoes, onion and cilantro to the bowl and toss to combine. Serve warm with your favorite sliced vegetables or chips!
Stovetop Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil to the pan then mix together the cumin, chili powder, salt and pepper. Rub each ear of corn with the mixture.
Cook the corn 15 minutes or until the corn begins to brown, turning every 5 minutes.
Remove from the heat and cool the corn for 5 minutes. Once the corn is cool enough to handle, use a knife to cut the kernels from the cob into a bowl. Follow steps 4 and 5 as above.
