Roasted Chili Corn Salsa is the best copycat chipotle recipe with easy ingredients. This medium spicy side dish is made with a poblano peppers, corn and a splash of lime.
Place the poblano pepper on a baking sheet and broil in the oven until the pepper begins to blister. Or use the air fryer. Air fry at 390*F for about 5 minutes or until the pepper begins to darken and blister. Set aside and cool. See photos above for what this looks like.
Dice the jalapeno (removing the seeds), purple onion, cilantro, and roasted poblano peppers. In a medium size mixing bowl, add thawed corn, and diced vegetables.
Add salt, cumin, lemon, and lime juice to the mixing bowl. Mix well until thoroughly mixed. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 4 days in an air-tight container.
Notes
You don't have to roast the poblano pepper if you are in a time crunch. It will still taste delicious!
Use frozen or canned corn. We prefer frozen corn.
If you don't have time to roast the pepper, you can use raw poblano pepper.
Store mixed salsa in an airtight container for 3-4 days. Juices may settle at the bottom of the bowl, so thoroughly mix again before serving.
Do not freeze, the texture of the vegetables will change if frozen.
