• 1/4 cup of chopped tomatoes
• 1 chipotle pepper (or however spicy you like it)

Directions:
Scoop out the avocado meat and place in a bowl with the chopped tomatoes, corn and minced garlic, salt and pepper. Add the chopped chipotle pepper slowly adjusting to the spicyness you want. mash all together with a fork until you get a smoother consistency. place a spoonful on the leaf of lettuce and roll up like a fajita to eat!
