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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Meanwhile, dice the cherry tomatoes, finely chop the red onion, and mince the garlic.
Step 4
Once the corn has cooled, use a sharp knife to carefully cut the kernels off the cob and transfer them to a large bowl.
Step 5
Add the chopped cherry tomatoes, red onion, and minced garlic to the bowl with the corn.
Step 6
Finely chop the chipotle peppers and cilantro leaves. Add them to the bowl along with the adobo sauce from the can for extra flavor.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Gently toss all the ingredients together until well combined.
Step 9
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed, adding more lime juice or salt if desired.
Step 10
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.
