Ingredients

Scale
  • 16 ounce frozen white corn kernels
  • 1 poblano pepper, stemmed, roasted and chopped
  • 1/3 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1/2 red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 jalapeno pepper, finely diced
  • 2 tablespoon lime juice, fresh or bottled
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice, fresh or bottled
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

1. If using frozen corn, simply thaw the kernels and lightly roast them in a skillet over medium heat for 5-7 minutes. This helps to bring out the natural sweetness and add a slight char for extra flavor.

2. Roast and chop the poblano pepper. Finely dice the red onion and jalapeño. Chop the fresh cilantro.

3. In a large bowl, combine the thawed and roasted corn, roasted poblano, chopped cilantro, red onion, and jalapeño.

4. Stir in the fresh lime juice, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt to taste. The acidity from the citrus helps to balance the sweetness and spice.

5. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the Copycat Chipotle Chili Corn Salsa for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled or at room temperature, and enjoy.

Notes

For an extra smoky flavor like Chipotle’s version, you can roast the corn in the oven or on the grill before mixing it with the other ingredients. This step adds a delicious charred element that complements the poblano pepper perfectly.
