What’s in Chipotle’s Corn Salsa
This fresh salsa recipe can be made in just about no time. You will need a few ingredients to make this delicious salsa. You will need:
- frozen corn
- lemon juice
- lime juice
- jalapeno pepper
- pablano pepper
- red onion
- salt
What makes this salsa so good?
This salsa tastes extra good because Chipotle treats their ingredients in a special way. Whenever citrus juice is added, they always add a combination of lemon and lime juice. The combination of the two is quite delicious. The roasting of the poblano pepper adds a richness that you can’t get from fresh peppers.
Chipotle Mexican Grill’s Jalapeno and Corn Salsa has to be one of my favorite salsa’s to put on my burrito when I go to Chipotle Mexican Grill. What makes it unique is that so often we associate salsa with tomatoes, we are often used to tomatoes being paired with peppers, but not a corn salsa. This dish is fairly easy to create at home. This salsa goes well with chips, on tacos, and even on taco soup.
How long does Chipotle Mexican Grill Spicy Corn Salsa stay fresh
This salsa stays fresh for three to five days. So you can prepare this a day or two in advance and then enjoy it for a couple of days. I personally think it tastes better the second day.
You could make this recipe using fresh corn on the cob. Do you need to learn how to cut corn off of the cob? Watch this video.
