  1. Fill a large saucepan with water and bring it to a rolling boil over medium-high heat. Add the sweet corn and cook for 2-3 minutes until bright yellow and tender.

  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced corn, cubed avocado, finely chopped jalapeño, sliced green onions, and fresh cilantro.
  4. Squeeze in fresh lime juice and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle tajin, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
