- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 avocado, finely diced

- Shuck and quickly rinse all ears of corn. Wrap each corn with aluminium foil tightly.
- On a BBQ heated on medium to high heat cook your wrapped corn for 15 minutes. Rotating on each side throughout.
- Remove the foil (carefully it will be hot!) and place the corn on the cob back on the grill for about 5 minutes. Rotating to every side. We are just looking to get a bit of colour on them.
- To make your drizzle add your mayo, water, lime juice, finely chopped cilantro, garlic powder and pepper to a bowl and mix together.
- Prepare your avocado by finely dicing as small as you can get it.
- Now it's time to top your corn. Give a generous drizzle to each corn and top with your avocado cubes, sriracha and chili flakes.
