How to Make Chipotle's Spicy Corn Salsa

  1. Preheat your barbecue grill to medium-high heat.
  2. Place 4 ears of corn, husked, and 2 poblano peppers directly on the grill grates. Grill, turning occasionally, until the corn kernels are slightly charred and the peppers are blistered (about 10-12 minutes).
  3. Remove the corn and peppers from the grill and let them cool slightly (about 10 minutes).
  4. Once cool enough to handle, cut the kernels off of the corn cobs. You should have approximately 4 cups of corn kernels.
  5. Remove the stems and seeds from the poblano peppers. Finely dice the peppers.
  6. In a large bowl, combine the grilled corn, diced poblano peppers, 1/2 cup finely chopped red onion, 1/2 cup chopped cilantro, 1/4 cup lime juice, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  7. Gently stir all ingredients until well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve immediately or chill for later. Enjoy!
