One of my favorite things about the relaxed pace and increased daylight of summer evenings is entertaining friends and family in the backyard.
Some of my favorite childhood memories include playing with my cousins in this same backyard while my Papa and Dad grilled our dinner, and then gathering with the entire family around picnic tables to enjoy a meal together. I love passing that tradition to my own children- except for them it’s Momma they’ll remember at the grill!
Last week I headed to Kroger to grab all the essentials for a summer evening meal with friends. Living in a small town, my grocery options are limited, so when it comes time to entertain I love to head into the nearest larger town to shop at Kroger. You just can’t beat the amazing selection there. (Find your nearest Kroger here.)
This time I took my big girls with me to choose the essentials for our evening’s meal. We settled on a menu of cojitacornocadoscuit appetizers and spicy garlic lime grilled chicken before going to shop, the rest of the menu was quickly decided by the gorgeous selection in the produce department at Kroger. 
While picking up the corn and avocado for our cojitacornocadoscuit appetizers, we also chose ingredients for a fresh salad, plus watermelon for dessert.
What’s a cojitacornocadoscuit appetizer? It’s a TRISCUIT cracker topped with cojita cheese, corn and avocado- and it’s delicious! TRISCUIT crackers are “made for more” which makes them the perfect choice for topping!
The hardest part of making the cojitacornocadoscuit is choosing which TRISCUIT cracker flavor to use!
In the end, we couldn’t pick just one and came home with three different boxes! Since TRISCUIT crackers are perfect for summer, I knew the extra crackers wouldn’t go to waste. I can’t wait to try more grilled toppings on those extra TRISCUIT crackers!
Here’s how to make cojitacornocadoscuit appetizers with just 4 ingredients for your backyard entertaining.
Ingredients:
- TRISCUIT crackers
- an avacado
- one ear of corn
- cojita cheese
Directions:
Grill an ear of corn for the recipe. Of course, this is a great time to grill the rest of your dinner! My children can never get enough grilled corn, so I filled my grill with spicy garlic lime marinated chicken breasts and lots of corn. You can grill the corn with or without the shuck. My Papa always grilled our corn in the shuck, so that is the way I prefer my corn grilled.
Next thinly slice an avocado.
Shuck and cut the kernels off one ear of corn.
Crumble 2 tablespoons of cojita cheese.
Now simply assemble the cojitacornocadoscuit appetizers.
Layer each TRISCUIT with one slice of avocado.
Add several corn kernels.
Sprinkle with cojita cheese.
That’s it! Your cojitacornocadoscuit appetizers are ready to enjoy!
How do you top your TRISCUIT crackers? Whether served as a snack, appetizer, or as a meal they are a great choice for either savory or sweet ingredients.

What a fun and tasty looking appetizer. I can’t wait to try it! I like topping my Triscuits with peanut butter and apple slices. Yummy!
I need to roast corn more often. That looks like a great summer appetizer.
Love your name for this snack, that flavor combo sounds amazing! I grew up around Kroger and loved it, sadly Florida doesn’t have Kroger.

It almost reminds me off a twist on nachos! I love your shopping helpers!
