Description
A fresh and zesty Chipotle Corn Salsa that combines sweet corn with bright citrus juices, spicy jalapeño, and aromatic cilantro. Perfect as a refreshing dip or flavorful topping for tacos, grilled meats, or salads.
Ingredients
Main 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 the cilantro mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the finely chopped cilantro, red onion, diced jalapeño, lime juice, and lemon juice. Mix thoroughly to blend the citrus flavors with the fresh herbs and spice.
- Combine with corn: In a large bowl, add the thawed white corn and sprinkle the salt over it. Then pour the cilantro mixture into the bowl and stir gently until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Chill the salsa: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for 30 minutes. This resting period allows the flavors to meld and develop more depth.
- Serve: After chilling, serve the chipotle corn salsa cold as a dip alongside tortilla chips or as a vibrant topping for tacos, grilled chicken, or fish to add a fresh and spicy kick.
Notes
- For more heat, add extra jalapeño or a pinch of chipotle powder.
- Use fresh corn if in season, lightly cooked and cooled, for a sweeter flavor.
- This salsa keeps well refrigerated for up to 2 days.
- Can be customized by adding diced tomatoes or avocado for extra texture.
