Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat the grill to high heat, about 400°F (200°C). Prepare the corn in its husks, place on grill, and grill for 6 minutes, turning occasionally.
Once cool, remove husks and place corn back on grill for 2-3 minutes for a lovely char.
Allow corn to cool slightly, then cut kernels off the cobs into a large mixing bowl.
Add finely chopped shallot, cilantro, basil, honey, lime juice, and vegetable oil to the bowl. Stir gently and season with salt.
In a food processor, blend together avocados, garlic, jalapeño, Greek yogurt, and lime juice until smooth.
Plate the avocado dip, pile grilled corn salad on top, and sprinkle with cotija cheese. Serve with tortilla chips.
