Corn Salsa Recipe

This corn salsa made with lime, cilantro and tomatoes are perfect with chips or served over your favorite tacos or burrito bowls.

This recipe, posted on Skinnytaste.com was inspired by Chipotle’s corn salsa. I always get a Chipotle chicken burrito bowl with corn salsa and love it so much that I had to recreate it. It’s wonderful, especially in the summer when sweet corn is at its peak. This flavor of the salsa is the perfect combination of sweet, tangy, and spicy – You can adjust the heat according to your taste.
