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!
Add more salt to taste. Serve with tortilla chips and enjoy!
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.Ā
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!
