This copycat Chipotle corn salsa recipe requires just a handful of ingredients – canned corn, red onion, cilantro, jalapeno, lemon juice, and Iime juice – that you probably already have on hand and tastes just like the salsa you’ll find at Chipotle Mexican grill! It’s the perfect make-ahead accompaniment for sheet pan nachos, chicken tacos, or southwest salads!

Notes

  • Make sure to drain the corn. The lemon and lime juice will provide plenty of liquid for this salsa, so don’t forget to drain the corn well. 
  • Add black beans! Though this is a copycat Chipotle recipe, you can add a can of black beans and turn this into a corn black bean salad.
  • If you can let this salsa sit for a few hours before eating, the flavors will have time to marry and everything will have a bit more of a punch. If not, it will still be delicious but the flavors do just get better with time!
