Copycat Recipe: Chipotle’s Corn Salsa

I’ve always been a HUGE fan of Chipotle but the one by my house is always crazy busy (like line out the door busy) so I’ve learned to order online and skip the wait. The other day I ordered online, excitedly rushed home, opened my burrito bowl, and noticed they forgot my roasted chili corn salsa.
Not gonna lie, I was pretty devastated. I realized then how EASY it would be to make my own.

Tips for Making Chipotle Corn Salsa
I used Birds Eye Steamfresh Pure & Simple Gold & White Corn. I love the convenience and steam-fresh taste. You could also use roasted fresh corn on the cob and cut off the kernels. (Or even frozen corn like I use in my Creamed Corn recipe.)
I also use a yellow onion 1) because it’s what I had, and 2) because red onions aren’t my favorite. Feel free to swap this out.
If you like things spicy, leave the seeds in the jalapeño. Otherwise, remove the seeds!

That sounds like a yummy lunch!
