Instructions
- Start by cutting corn kernels off the cob into a large bowl. Heat a wide frying pan and dry roast your corn for 7-10 minutes over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Skip the roasting if you are using grilled corn.
- Once the corn is golden and got a little color, let it cool a bit. Add diced red onions, chopped scallions, chopped parsley, minced chipotles in adobo sauce, a splash of lime juice, extra virgin olive oil to bring it all together and salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Stir and serve immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Enjoy!
Notes
- Store leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 4 days. You can serve the salsa warm or cold. To reheat, warm it in the microwave for up to a minute.
- Enjoy this chipotle corn salsa on top of vegan tacos, with homemade whole wheat tortillas, with nachos and tortilla chips, on top of chili, in burritos, quesadillas, enchiladas, burrito bowls, in Mexican-inspired salads or with pretty much any Mexican food!
- Instead of fresh corn, you can use canned or frozen (and thawed) corn. To replace 1 ear fresh corn you’ll need about 2 1/2 cups canned or frozen corn.
- Alternatively, you can use grilled corn. In this case, skip the roasting.
- You can substitute cilantro for parsley or use both.
- Add more chipotles if you like your salsa hot and more lime juice for an extra zest.
