This Copycat Chipotle Corn Salsa is exactly like the real thing! Easy + Vegan + GF + Plant-Based!

Ingredients
  • 16 oz frozen corn
  • 1 poblano pepper
  • olive oil spray
  • 1 cup diced red onion
  • 1-2 fresh jalapenos (finely diced)
  • 1/4 cup packed fresh cilantro (finely chopped)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
Directions
  • Step 1 If you use oil, coat the outside of the poblano pepper with olive oil or give it a light spray. If you don’t use oil, just go without.
  • Step 2 Place pepper on a lined cookie sheet, broil for 5 minutes on each side, remove from oven and set aside. Pepper is done when it has a slight brown crisped skin, like mine in the above photo.
  • Step 3 Place corn, chopped onion, cilantro, chopped jalapeno, and salt in a bowl and stir to combine.
  • Step 4 Once the poblano pepper has cooled, carefully remove the stem, peel the roasted skin off and chop the pepper into small pieces. Wash your hands thoroughly after this step and/or wear gloves.
  • Step 5 Add the poblano pepper to the corn mixture, pour in the citrus juices and salt. Stir until combined. Check lemon, lime, salt levels, adjust to taste.
  • Step 6 Serve (or eat) immediately or store in airtight container in refrigerator for up to 3 days. Enjoy!
