    What is in chipotle corn salsa?

    When I make this chipotle corn salsa recipe I am sure to include roasted poblano peppers, yellow sweet corn, red onion, fresh lime juice, fresh lemon juice, and my favorite, fresh cilantro! The corn can be fresh, frozen corn or canned corn. 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.

    Roasted chili corn salsa ingredients:

    chipotle corn salsa ingredients in separate white bowls on a butcher block countertop
    • roasted poblano peppers - learn how to roast your own
    • corn - White or yellow corn, the restaurant uses white but use what you like. Fresh or frozen corn can be used.(learn how to freeze your own corn)
    • red onion - finely chopped
    • lime juice - fresh is best
    • lemon juice - fresh is best
    • cilantro - finely chopped
    • salt - to taste, I like kosher or sea salt

    Other ingredients to personalize your salsa:

    Chipotle Corn Salsa on a flour tortillia chip
    • black beans - drained and rinsed
    • jalapeno pepper - seeds removed and finely diced
    • red bell pepper - finely diced

    The above additional ingredients are not called out for in the recipe card below but I encourage you to add them to your corn salsa to make your corn salsa recipe your own. I suggest ½ a can of black beans, 1 jalapeño pepper and ½ red bell pepper to start. Adjust to your personal taste.

    How to fire roast a pepper

    1. Turn on the gas flame, placing a clean pepper on the flame.
    2. Allow the pepper to blister and char on each side turning the pepper until all sides are charred.
    3. Allow all sides to become blackened and the insides to cook.
    4. Remove from flame and place in either plastic wrap or a paper bag and allow to steam for 10 minutes to sweat off the char.
    5. Once cool, remove from wrapping and remove the blackened outside with a knife, using a scraping motion.
    6. Slice open and remove the stem, seeds, and membranes.

    How to make roasted chili corn salsa:

    corn salsa ingredients in a glass bowl, ready to be stirred with a wooden spoon.
    1. Roast the poblano peppers if you are posting them at home. Cool and remove char, seeds, stem and ribs. Chop the peppers.
    2. Cook the corn according to package directions and allow to cool to the touch.
    3. Finely mince the cilantro and finely dice the red pepper.
    4. Combine all the ingredients together in a large bowl. Salt to taste.
    5. Chill for an hour before serving for best flavor results.
    6. Stir and serve.

    If you are making a salsa bar for your party be sure to add salsa verde, black bean corn salsa, and plum habanero salsa. If you are looking for a sweet fruit salsa, fresh blueberry salsa is always a hit with my kids. 

    📝 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS, ANSWERS AND TIPS:

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

    You do not have to roast your own peppers for this recipe! Go ahead and use a jar of roasted peppers if you can find them 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.
