Remove the pit from the avocado then scoop the avocado out of the shell and add to a medium bowl.
Mash avocados with the back of a fork until it’s as chunky or smooth as you like. Squeeze lime juice over the top.
Add red onion, jalapeño and cilantro. Stir to combine then cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate.
Preheat outdoor gas grill or indoor grill pan to medium/medium-high heat. Shuck corn then brush with olive oil.
Place corn directly on the grill and cook about 8 minutes or until the kernels are slightly charred turning occasionally.
Cool corn until you're able to handle it, then slice the kernels off the cob and blend into the guacamole. Season with salt and pepper. Taste and adjust the lime juice to your liking. (optional: garnish with Everything Bagel Seasoning)
Scoop into a serving bowl and serve with tortilla chips.
