We eat later in the summer, usually after 7.  We love grilling, and it’s a lot cooler then. It also gives the kids a chance to go swimming when it’s not so hot and bright out. While I love that we don’t have a set schedule, I have to make sure that everyone gets a snack. Otherwise, people get cranky, tempers flare, and well, it’s just not fun — especially for me, the Mom Sheriff.

My kids love munching on crackers, preferably straight out of the box, which means we go through them like crazy. But I like to get a little more creative. So when I saw a recipe for TRISCUIT crackers topped with grilled corn, Cotijo cheese and avocado, I just had to try it out. The brand name is actually called Cotijacornocadoscuit — say that ten times in a row! 

This may sound exotic, but it’s not. And, it’s actually super easy to make. Just think of it as Mexican street corn on a cracker!

Cotijo cheese is a Mexican cheese that’s kind of like a cross between feta and Parmesan. If you can’t find it, you can always substitute feta, instead.

I found everything I needed, including the cheese, at my local  Fry’s . 

 

Fry’s is part of Kroger, and what I love about Fry’s is that they carry just about everything, from fresh produce, to canned goods, to pool supplies, to gourmet cheeses and small appliances. They even have a full service bakery –yum!

Like I said, making the snacks is super easy, and I let my kids help. I just set out several crackers on a serving tray. Then, we topped those with avocado slices.

We had some grilled corn on the cob in the fridge, so I just cut off the kernels, heated them up, seasoned them with a little salt and pepper, and then I spooned a few over the avocado slices.

You can also use freshly grilled corn, or you can even pan fry some frozen or canned corn — whatever works!
