Corn also makes a fabulous salsa. Acidity from the salsa’s lime juice balances the sweetness of the corn. Along with some jalapeño, red onion, cilantro, and oregano, it’s a fiesta of flavor. Although not the kind of salsa that one can easily balance on a chip (though that doesn’t stop us from trying), it’s terrific as a side to any southwestern dishes like tacos and enchiladas, or a straight up side with chicken or steak. This corn salsa would be great to serve for a game-day party or summer potluck. A friend told me that corn salsa is one of the most popular menu items at Chipotle. I’m not surprised! (This one is better.) How to make corn salsa quickly? Use a mini-chopper or food processor to save time on mincing the red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, and oregano. Serve with fish tacos, chicken tacos, quesadillas, fajitas, or steak.
