Ingredients

  • 3 Ears Fresh Corn Washed and Shucked
  • 1 Red Onion
  • 1-2 Tomatoes
  • 1/2 Cup Cilantro
  • 1 Bell Pepper
  • 2-3 Jalapeños Optional
  • 1 Tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1/2 Tsp Each: Paprika, Cumin, Chili Powder, Garlic Powder, Chipotle Powder
  • 1/4 Tsp Each Salt & Pepper
  • 1 Lime Zest and Juice

Instructions

  • Preheat grill to medium high heat. You could also use an indoor grill pan on the stovetop.
  • Brush the shucked corn, onion, bell pepper and tomato with olive oil. Then grill until charred, turning the vegetables often. The corn will take the longest to grill, but the tomatoes will only take a few minutes to char. The charred bits make the salsa even more delicious!
  • Once the corn is cool, cut the kernels off the cob. Chop the onion, tomato and bell pepper into a small dice. Stir to combine the corn, onion, tomato and bell pepper in a large mixing bowl.
  • Add in the zest and juice of the lime, all of the spices and cilantro and then stir to combine.
  • Serve with tortilla chips. Store leftovers for up to one week in the refrigerator.
