Here's a fabulous way to use up leftover grilled corn. Make sure your avocado is ripe, but still somewhat firm, for easy cubing. To grill corn, remove husks and silk and coat with cooking spray. Grill over medium heat, turning occasionally, until browned in spots. Don’t touch seeds with bare hands.You can make this recipe with 1 1/2 cups of frozen, boiled or steamed corn that has been well-drained.
