Ingredients
- 1 lbs frozen corn
- 1 jalepeño pepper or adjust accordingly
- 1/4 cup red onion finely diced
- 1/3 cup cilantro finely chopped
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp salt or to taste
Instructions
- Thaw frozen corn by placing in colander and running it under running water, or setting it out a couple of hours prior. Then pat dry corn.

- In a large mixing bowl, combine corn, diced red onions, diced jalapeño pepper, cilantro, lime juice, and lemon juice. Mix to combine. Add salt to taste.
- Serve with tortilla chips, and enjoy!
Notes
Note 1: Besides frozen corn, you can also use canned corn, corn kernels off fresh corn, or frozen roasted corn. Frozen roasted corn actually brings an additional layer of flavor to the dish. Even though Chipotle doesn't use roasted corn for this, I personally love the flavors roasted corn brings to this dish.
Note 2: If corn isn't thawed before mixing it with the rest of the ingredients, let corn salsa sit out for an hour before serving to thaw out the corn. Liquid will form at the bottom of the bowl, feel free to drain it if you prefer.
Note 3: Use more jalapeño and red onions if you like it spicier, and use less if you prefer your corn salsa mild.
