Smoky Corn Salsa: A Flavorful Twist

Ingredients

• Spritz of cooking spray
• 2 cups of frozen corn kernels
• 2 ripe vine tomatoes, diced into 1/2-inch chunks
• 1 small diced red onion
• ¾ cup of diced red bell pepper
• 2 jalapeno peppers, deseeded with seeds saved, and finely minced
• 2 teaspoons of finely chopped canned chipotle pepper
• 4 tablespoons of freshly squeezed lime juice
• 1 tablespoon of olive oil
• ¼ cup of freshly chopped cilantro
• Dash of salt for seasoning

Step 1

Begin by preparing a large skillet, giving it a light coat of non-stick cooking spray, and then heating it over medium-high heat. Once heated, introduce the corn to the skillet, allowing it to cook until achieving a delightful golden brown hue without any signs of burning. Transfer the corn to a generously sized bowl.

Step 2

Next, combine the vibrant flavors of tomatoes, onion, bell pepper, and jalapeno peppers with the corn mixture. For an extra kick of heat, consider adding a few of the reserved jalapeno seeds. Enhance the dish by incorporating chipotle peppers, a splash of zesty lime juice, a drizzle of olive oil, and a handful of fresh cilantro. Don't forget to season the mixture with salt to suit your taste preferences.
