1. Toss corn with jalapeno, scallion, cilantro, avocado, 2 T oil and juice of 1 lime. Season with salt.

2. Combine chili powder, 2 t salt, 1/2 t pepper and 2 T oil. Flatten medallions with your hands so they are about 1/2 inch thick. Brush both sides with chili mixture.

3. Heat grill to med-high. Grill pork 4-5 minutes per side. Remove from grill and squeeze juice of remaining lime on top. Top with corn salad. Serve.

This was super yummy.  I served it with tortillas, heated on the grill, on the side. We also made tacos out of it.  So easy and so yummy!
