    What to serve with black bean and corn salsa (black bean corn salsa recipe)?

    It’s typically served with tortilla chips or pita chips as as appetizer for Summer parties.

    You can also serve it as a side dish with grilled or baked fish (salmon), pork, beef, steak, chicken, shrimp.

    My favorite way to enjoy it is to use it as a topping in rice bowls, burrito bowls, tacos, tamales, burritos, enchiladas, tostadas, nachos, quesadillas. Mix it with Cilantro Lime Rice (One Pot), beans, Vegetable Fajitas (One Pan)and cooked meats such as Mexican Shredded Chicken (One Pot) or Steak Fajitas (One Pot) or Chicken Fajitas (One Pot) for a truly filling meal.

    Mexican Chipotle Corn Salsa Recipe

    Variations

    Add mangoes- Mix in 1 finely chopped mango.

    Add tomatoes- I used Roma tomatoes but you can also use cherry tomatoes/ grape tomatoes.

    Grilled or Roasted corn salsa- If the weather is good and you can fire up the grill, use roasted corn. It adds a wonderful smoky flavor.

    Avocado corn salsa dip- Mix in 1 finely chopped avocado, making it nice and creamy.

    Make it spicy- Add more jalapenos and don't remove their seeds. You can also sprinkle some red chili flakes.

    Make it creamy- Mix in ½ cup Cotija cheese and ⅓ cup sour cream.

    Fresh Corn Salsa

    Tips and Techniques

    Canned corn vs. Fresh corn vs. Frozen corn- My first choice would be fresh corn since it has the best flavor and texture, followed by frozen corn, which works very well. However, I don't recommend using canned corn since it's too soft and soggy and doesn't have the best flavor or texture.

    Serve warm or cold- Typically, it's served cold and I don't recommend heating it or cooking it because it looses it's crisp and fresh texture.

    Do not use a blender– This is supposed to be a chunky salsa. When you add everything in the blender, the salsa becomes mushy and liquid-based. Just finely chop up all of your ingredients and toss them together.

    Adjust the amount of ingredients– There’s no such thing as “too much” or “too little” in this recipe. Make adjustments, based on your preference.

    Lemon juice vs. Lime juice– Either can be used but I recommend lime juice since give this dish an authentic Mexican flavor.

    Let it rest– This is important because that 20-30 minutes chilling time at the end allows all the flavors to blend together and deepen.
