Chipotle Corn Salsa Ingredients
- 2 cups frozen white corn, thawed
- 1/4 cup cilantro, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh jalapeño, finely diced
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prepare Cilantro Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the finely chopped cilantro, red onion, jalapeño, lime juice, and lemon juice. Mix well to evenly distribute the flavors.
- Combine with Corn: In a large bowl, add the thawed corn and salt. Pour the cilantro mixture over the corn and stir gently until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
- Chill the Salsa: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for 30 minutes. This resting time helps the flavors meld together beautifully.
- Serve: After chilling, serve the salsa cold as a dip alongside chips or as a bright, flavorful topping for tacos, grilled meats, or salads.
Notes
- For added smokiness, consider adding a small amount of chipotle chili powder or smoked paprika.
- This salsa can be made a few hours in advance and stored in the refrigerator to enhance the flavor.
- To reduce heat, remove seeds and membranes from the jalapeño before dicing.
- Fresh corn kernels can be used if in season, blanch them briefly before mixing.
