Chipotle Corn Salsa Copycat Recipe
Chipotle Corn Salsa is a sweet and tangy salsa perfect for serving with tortilla chips for dipping or on top of burrito bowls, tacos, salads, nachos, fajitas, and so much more! If you love Chipotle as much as I do then you know their corn salsa is simply delicious. My copycat recipe is just as delicious as the restaurant.

- Storage
- Store in an air tight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. The lemon and lime juice will continue to pickle the onions and jalapenos. The red onions and jalapenos will give off juice that is red and green that may change the color of the corn slightly.
- *Nutrition information does not include tortilla chips for serving.
- If using fresh corn on the cob, cook the corn stove top in a pot of boiling water for about 5 minutes, cool then cut the corn off the cob.
- If using frozen, allow the corn to thaw and drain any excess water.
- If using canned corn, drain the corn well.
