Roasted Chili Corn Salsa (Chipotle Copycat)
Description
This salsa recipe involves charring a poblano pepper directly over high heat until blackened, then steaming under plastic wrap to loosen the skin for peeling. Once peeled, the poblano is deseeded and chopped, then combined with defrosted corn kernels, finely diced red onion, seeded jalapeños, chopped cilantro, lime juice, and kosher salt. The mixture is tossed together, then chilled for at least an hour to blend flavors.
The resulting salsa has smoky and mildly spicy notes from poblano and jalapeños, sweetness from the corn, sharpness from onion and lime, and freshness from cilantro. The grilling imparts a subtle smokiness absent in raw salsas.
This cold salsa works well as a topping for grilled meats, tacos, or as a dip. Chilling before serving allows flavors to meld and serves to refresh the palate.
