This Charred Corn and Tomato Salsa is tasty and versatile and can be used as a topping for chicken tacos,  as a side dish, in a salad, or with another taco recipe.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups of frozen corn

  • 1 lime

  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

  • ½ cup cherry tomatoes, chopped

  • ½ cup cilantro, chopped

  • ½ cup of green onion, trimmed, green stalks only, diced

  • freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

Preparation

  1. Heat a cast-iron skillet on high heat.

  2. Add corn, stirring frequently. As kernels begin to char, they will begin to pop. Continue to stir until all kernels are charred. Remove from heat and transfer to a bowl. 

  3. Add tomatoes, cilantro, green onion, lime, and salt, and stir to combine. Let sit for 20 minutes or more to marinate.

  4. Add salt and pepper to taste and serve as a side dish, mix with salad greens, or use as a topping for tacos.
