  2. Cover and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes.
  3. Remove the lid and cook for another 2 minutes, or until excess moisture has evaporated.

  5. While the corn mixture cools, cut 1 ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and dice into 1/2-inch cubes.
  6. Place the avocado cubes in a medium bowl and gently toss with 2 tablespoons of lime juice.
  7. Chop 1/2 of a medium bell pepper (any color) and add it to the bowl.
