What is in chipotle corn salsa?

When I make this chipotle corn salsa recipe I am sure to include roasted poblano peppers, yellow corn, red onion, fresh lime juice, fresh lemon juice and my favorite, cilantro! The corn can be fresh, frozen or canned. If you are lucky enough to have beautiful fresh corn in the summer follow my instructions on how to prepare freezer corn to keep the fresh flavor all year long.

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.
