Do I have to roast my own poblano pepper for this recipe?

You do not have to roast your own poblano peppers for this recipe! Go ahead and use a jared roasted pepper if you can find then at the store. I know different stores carry different items and I want you to have options. I know when I have peppers fresh from the garden I will roast them but in the winter I grab a jar from the shelf.

How to make chipotle corn salsa:

1. Chop the poblano peppers, onion and cilantro.
2. Combine all the ingredients together. Salt to taste.
3. Chill for an hour before serving for best flavor results.
