Grilled Corn Salsa for Tacos, Bowls and More
I love to toss this corn salsa into salads and I use it as a tasty topper for tacos. It’s so yummy on everything!
Ingredients
- 4 to 5 ears fresh grilled corn, cut off the cob (~2 cups kernels)*
- 2 Roma tomatoes, chopped (or 1 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered)
- 2 jalapeños, sliced (remove seeds if you don’t like heat)
- ½ to 1 cup red onion, diced
- 2 to 3 tablespoons lime juice
- ¼ to ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ¼ cup minced fresh cilantro, optional
- ½ teaspoon cumin, optional
- ¼ teaspoon smoky paprika, optional
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a large bowl and mix. Taste and add more lime juice, herbs, salt, pepper, and other preferred seasonings.
- This will keep in the fridge for about 4 days, but is best enjoyed fresh. You can also freeze for future meals.
Notes
* You can also use 12 ounces frozen corn thawed and patted dry
• When fresh corn is available, I recommend using 4 ears of corn, freshly grilled or oven-roasted. When you don’t have fresh corn on hand, swap in a 12oz bag of frozen corn, thawed and patted dry. You can always use 2 cups canned corn, drained and patted dry.
• My family prefers this salsa without cilantro. However, I’ve included it in as an optional ingredient if you’d like to toss it in.
• If you dislike like heat, remove jalapeño seeds before mixing them in, or skip the jalapeños completely. It’ll still be delicious!
• I use Roma tomatoes because they have less liquid than traditional tomatoes. You can also choose to quarter cherry or grape tomatoes.
• This will keep in the fridge for about 4 days. You can also freeze it for future meals.
• Toss leftovers into salads, soups, egg dishes, casseroles, chilis… just about anything!
