Chipotle Copycat Corn Salsa Recipe… The Best Corn Salsa Ever.

You know that one thing you HAVE to get everytime you go to a certain restaurant because you can’t replicate it at home? That’s me with Chipotle’s Corn Salsa. It doesn’t help that the closest Chipotle is over 300 miles away. You know the saying, “Distance makes the heart grow fonder”? That’s the truth. Until Now. Just this week I’ve perfected my Chipotle copycat corn salsa recipe. I don’t know if it’s a good thing or a bad thing! All I know is since I’ve figured it out we’ve been going through chips like nobody’s business.

One of my favorite things about this recipe is that I was able to get ALL the ingredients at my local North Dakota farmers market!

I also love that you can do all the chopping in the food processor, eliminating dishes and hassle. I start out by chopping the peppers and onions.

I chip until they’re in small-ish pieces.

Then I toss in cilantro by the handfuls.

In the mean time I cut corn off the cob and cook and cool it. Or if corn isn’t in season you could totally buy, cook, and cool frozen corn. Once it is all mixed together I squeeze lime generously over it and sprinkle it with salt. This results in the most delicious corn salsa ever.
