just like chipotle’s corn salsa
Description
The recipe blends defrosted and drained sweet corn with seeded and chopped jalapeño peppers, finely chopped red onion, and cilantro, all tossed with freshly squeezed lime juice and seasoned with salt and black pepper. The use of frozen corn as a practical alternative to fresh corn maintains sweetness year-round. The salsa offers a crisp bite from the onion and a citrus brightness from lime, balanced by the jalapeño's moderate heat.
The simplicity of preparation—just combining and mixing ingredients—makes it accessible and versatile. It can be adjusted for preferred heat by leaving in more or fewer jalapeño seeds, or to brighten flavors with extra lime or cilantro. Its fresh profile works well as a topping or side for various Mexican or Tex-Mex dishes.
Ingredients
- 1 12- ounce sweet corn defrosted and drained, frozen
- 2 jalapeno pepper seeded and chopped (leave in some seeds for more heat if desired, medium-sized
- 1/2 red onion finely chopped (about 1/3 cup
- 3/4 cup cilantro torn or chopped, fresh
- the juice of 2, juicy! limes
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix, mix, mix. Season with additional salt and pepper if desired. Add more cilantro, jalapeno or lime according to your tastes!
- Note: obviously fresh corn would be the BEST option here… however I don’t have access to that at the moment… and when I do have access to it, it’s only for about 2-3 months. This was the next best thing.
