Description

A vibrant and zesty Chipotle Corn Salsa featuring sweet corn, smoky chipotle peppers, fresh lime, and cilantro. This easy homemade chipotle corn salsa is perfect as a dip or topping for tacos, burrito bowls, or grilled dishes.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels (thawed if frozen)
  • 12 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, finely chopped
  • 1 small red onion, finely diced
  • 1 jalapeño pepper, minced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (optional)

Instructions

  1. If using frozen corn, thaw it completely. If using fresh corn, boil or grill it until tender, then cut the kernels off the cob.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the corn, diced red onion, minced jalapeño, and chopped cilantro.
  3. Finely chop the chipotle peppers and add them along with a spoonful of adobo sauce.
  4. Add lime juice and season with salt to taste.
  5. Drizzle with olive oil if desired and toss until evenly coated.
  6. Let the salsa rest for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow flavors to develop.

Notes

  • For extra smokiness, use grilled corn.
  • Adjust spice level by adding more or fewer chipotle peppers.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Best served chilled or at room temperature.
