This copycat Chipotle corn salsa is ready in just 10 minutes with no roasting, no cooking, and no fuss. It delivers all the sweet, zesty flavor of Chipotle's version with half the effort!
Ingredients
- 12 ounces frozen white corn , thawed and drained
- ½ cup chopped cilantro
- ¼ cup chopped red onion
- 1 jalepeno , seeded and chopped
- 2 limes , juiced
- ½ teaspoon salt (more to taste)
- ⅛ teaspoon pepper (more to taste)
For serving: Tortilla Chips
Instructions
- Combine ingredients. Combine 12 ounces corn, 1/2 cup cilantro, 1/4 cup red onion and 1 chopped jalapeno in a large bowl.
- Season. Squeeze the lime juice over top. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper and stir until combined. Season to taste.
- Chill. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes before serving.
Notes
Substitute a roasted poblano pepper for the fresh jalapeno. It adds a deeper, smokier flavor that's closer to Chipotle's original recipe.
Store any leftover salsa in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will keep for up to 3 days. The flavors often deepen over time, making the leftovers just as delicious.
