Corn Salsa with Lime
Corn Salsa with LimeIt’s a perfect combination of sweet, spicy and tangy. You can adjust the heat according to your taste! Try it over Barbacoa Beef and make your own homemade burrito bowl, so good!
This corn salsa was inspired by Chipotle, I always get a chicken burrito bowl with corn salsa and love it so much, I had to recreate it. This is wonderful, especially in the summer when corn is at it’s peak. Try this over your own burrito bowl with some grilled chicken thighs and cilantro lime rice, you’ll be happy!

This is a wonderful brightener for so many things. Barbacoa. Tacos. Eggs. Grilled chicken thighs. With chips instead of salsa. You name it. It is delicious and made with all whole foods. Simple to make, lasts a few meals, easy to play with. Sometimes I add ripe avocado, black eyed peas or pinto beans. But most of the time I make it exactly as written. Yu.
This salsa/salad is to DIE for! So sweet and packed with flavor without adding much at all! The ingredients are so fresh and the only additional seasoning is lime juice, S&P! It is SO refreshing and went amazing with the Barbacoa tacos the house RAVED over. Thank you, Gina!
So glad you all enjoyed it!
Excellent. Did not add jalapeños since this group doesn’t like too spicy. Substituted parsley for the cilantro. Perfect appetizer for a 4th of July or any summer barbecue.
The jalapeno without the seeds calms the sweet from the corn and the tomato without adding heat. I highly recommend you try it next time!
Delicioso! Just like Chipotle!
For the corn salsa. Do you cook the corn first? Or just cut the corn off the cob fresh?
yes this calls for cooked corn
Of course having a great corn makes it even better! Made this Jersey fresh corn – roasted.
Delicious, the corn is the star and the other ingredients just elevated the taste. The klime juice was plenty to bring it all together!! Love this recipe
So good! I’ve never had corn salsa as good and fresh as this. It was perfect with the barbacoa beef.
Last comment should have been for the barbacoa – sorry!
This was amazing! My family loved it so much – Thank you. We don’t like really spicy so I substituted 3T mild green chiles for the chipotle peppers. It was perfect for us. Also made your corn and lime salsa (no jalapenos) and that was fantastic too.
I would like to can this? Does anyone with experience know how I could do so?
Used 2 cans of Green Giant canned corn. Drained
Perfect
Made this corn salsa this week with your Barbacoa Beef and cilantro brown rice, so yummy! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe, it is fantastic!
I made this with the Barbacoa Beef tonight. My kids loved both dishes!
Awesome
I think this would be 0 smart points now because of the new Freestyle program!!!
Correct!
Just a note for people who really do want a mild jalapeño. It’s not the seeds that contain the capsaicin oil. It’s the placenta which is the “ribbing” that the seeds are attached to.  So, don’t just take off the seeds, cut off the ribbing all the way back to the wall of the pepper.
This salsa is insanely delicious…and addicting! Yum.
This recipe is beyond amazing!!!
This sounds awesome!! Â Can I can this? Â Everything in this recipe is available from my garden….also, would you roast or boil the corn??
 Just finished making this, it is in the refrigerator until dinner tonight. Pairing this with the Barbacoa beef and cilantro lime rice… I’m beyond excited!! Thanks for all the great recipes Gina! I’ll post again after we’ve eaten it!
Wonderful recipe, esp. since fresh corn and tomatoes are in season. I omitted the cilantro and onion, increased the tomatoes. The fresh lime juice is the secret ingredient! Definitely improves with sitting in the fridge.
This was such a great dish for the hot summer! I grilled the corn out on the BBQ to avoid heating up the house. The flavors are very complex and complimentary. I have munched on it for the last 2 days and it just keeps getting better and better as the flavors meld. Thank you Gina for sharing your talents with those of us who are "culinary-challenged"!
