Ingredients

  • 3 corn on the cob husks removed
  • vegetable oil
  • 4 ounces (113 grams) canned diced chiles, mild or hot
  • ⅓ cup (42 grams) red onion finely chopped
  • ½ cup (75 grams) cherry tomatoes chopped
  • 2 tablespoons cilantro chopped
  • 2 teaspoons lime juice
  • ¼ teaspoon salt or to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat grill.
  • Place the corn cobs on the grill, turning often until lightly charred on all sides. Remove.
  • Put a small bowl upside down inside a large bowl. Stand a corn cob on its flat end and use a sharp knife to cut off the corn kernels.
  • To the corn add the chiles, red onion, tomatoes, cilantro, lime juice and salt. Mix well. Taste and add more salt if needed. 
  • Refrigerate until ready to use. The salsa will taste better the longer it sits.
  • The salsa will keep up to 5 days in a sealed container refrigerated.
