Tips:

- Roast the corn: Roasting the corn brings out its natural sweetness and flavor. You can roast the corn in the oven, on the grill, or in a cast iron skillet.
- Make the guacamole ahead of time: Guacamole can be made up to 24 hours in advance. This makes it a great option for parties or potlucks.
- Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as cilantro and cumin, add a lot of flavor to this recipe. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but use half the amount.
- Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is made. The tortilla chips will get soggy if they sit for too long.
