Equipment
  • 1 large pot
  • 1 oven broiler
  • 1 plastic wrap
  • 1 Medium bowl
  • 1 separate small bowl
Ingredients
  
  • 4 ears fresh white corn shucked (or substitute with frozen corn)
  • 1 poblano pepper
  • 1 jalapeño seeds removed and diced
  • 1/2 cup chopped red onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 3 tbsp lime juice
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt plus more for seasoning
Instructions
 
  • If using frozen corn, let it thaw and drain excess water.
    For fresh corn, bring a large pot of water and 1 tablespoon of salt to a boil over high heat.
    Add the ears of corn and boil for 3 to 5 minutes.
    Then, submerge the ears in a large bowl of ice water.
    Once cooled, cut the kernels off the cob.
  • Roast the poblano pepper using a gas stove or oven broiler, turning it until the skin is blackened and blistered on all sides.
    Cover the pepper in a bowl with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel for about 10 minutes.
    Afterward, remove the skin, stem and seeds.
    Chop the roasted pepper into small pieces.
  • Toss the corn kernels with 1 teaspoon of kosher salt in a medium bowl.
    Set Aside
    Combine the chopped poblano pepper, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice and lemon juice in a separate small bowl.
    Mix Well
  • Add the poblano mixture to the bowl with the corn kernels and gently stir until well combined.
    Taste the salsa and season with additional salt if necessary.
    Now, you have successfully made a batch of Chipotle Corn Salsa.
    Enjoy it alongside your favorite Mexican dishes or use it to add a zesty and smoky flavor to other meals.
