How to Make Chipotle Corn Salsa Copycat

  1. Char the Corn. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the corn and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until it’s lightly charred. Once done, set it aside to cool for a few minutes.
  2. Mix the Salsa Ingredients Together. In a mixing bowl, combine the corn with the chopped red onion, roasted poblano, jalapeños, cilantro, lemon juice, and lime juice. Stir everything together until well mixed.

Make-Ahead and Storage Instructions

To Make-Ahead: I like to char the corn and chop up all the veggies the day before to save time. Once everything’s cooled, I mix it together and pop it in the fridge. The flavors actually get even better after sitting overnight.

To Store: I usually keep the salsa in a sealed container in the fridge. It stays fresh for a couple of days.
