Cuisine Tex-Mex
Servings 2 Servings

Ingredients

  • 3 large ears of corn, shucked (about 2 ½ cups kernels)
  • 1 poblano pepper
  • 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and finely diced
  • ¼ cup finely diced red onion
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped cilantro
  • ½ tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • ½ tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • Salt, to taste

Instructions

Prepare Corn

  1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add corn, cover, and remove from heat. Allow the corn to sit for 10 minutes, then remove from water and cool to room temperature.
  2. Once the corn has cooled, carefully cut the kernels off the cob, making sure to cut close to the cob.

Prepare Poblano Pepper

  1. Set oven to broil and set aside an aluminum foil lined baking pan.
  2. Rub the poblano pepper with a splash of neutral flavored oil and place on the baking pan. Broil until the skins are charred, about 5 to 7 minutes on each side.
  3. Remove from oven and place in a covered bowl. Allow the pepper to cool for 15 to 20 minutes, then gently rub the charred skin off and dispose of it, along with the stem and seeds. Finely dice the pepper and set aside.

Prepare Salsa

  1. In a large bowl, combine cooked corn, roasted poblano pepper, jalapeno pepper, onion, cilantro, lemon juice, lime juice, and salt. Mix until thoroughly combined. Refrigerate the salsa for a few hours before serving to allow the flavors to blend.
