Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 ears Fresh corn on the cob
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 2 whole Garlic cloves
- 0.25 cup Cilantro leaves
- 2 whole Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- 1 whole Lime
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat.
Brush the corn on the cob lightly with olive oil. Place the ears of corn on the grill and cook for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until kernels are slightly charred and tender. Set aside to cool.
Meanwhile, dice the cherry tomatoes, finely chop the red onion, and mince the garlic.
Once the corn has cooled, use a sharp knife to carefully cut the kernels off the cob and transfer them to a large bowl.
Add the chopped cherry tomatoes, red onion, and minced garlic to the bowl with the corn.
Finely chop the chipotle peppers and cilantro leaves. Add them to the bowl along with the adobo sauce from the can for extra flavor.
Roll the lime on the countertop to release its juices, then cut it in half and squeeze the juice over the mixture. Add olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
Gently toss all the ingredients together until well combined.
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed, adding more lime juice or salt if desired.
Serve the salsa immediately with tortilla chips or as a topping for your favorite dishes. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
