EASY CORN SALSA
I had to make something QUICK for a Mexican themed birthday party, so I threw this together and got RAVE reviews. Some ate it separately most though added it to their burrito and/or fajita mixin's...As usual, I rarely measure, so these measurements are appproximate and by memory...sorry! TRY to make the night before, but it's still good when made on the fly!

ALMOST-FAMOUS CORN SALSA
Fans of Chipotle restaurants will wait in notoriously long lines for the chain's made-to-order burritos. (Yes, we're guilty, too; there's a location right across from our office.) Founder Steve Ells, a former San Francisco chef, hit on a magic formula with his concept for a mix-and-match taqueria: He opened his first Chipotle in Denver in 1993 and now has nearly 1,100 locations. Ells came up with all the recipes himself, including this popular corn salsa. If you get lucky at the restaurant, your burrito maker will pile on a little extra. If you don't, you can make this recipe from Food Network Kitchens - and eat as much as you want.

Steps:
- Preheat a grill to medium high. Brush the poblano with 1 teaspoon olive oil and grill, skin-side down, until charred but still firm, about 5 minutes. Cool slightly; peel and finely chop.
- If using fresh corn, bring a small pot of salted water to a boil. Add the corn and cook until tender, 2 to 3 minutes; drain.
- Mix the corn (if using frozen, add it here), poblano, jalapeno, cilantro and red onion in a bowl. Stir in the remaining 2 teaspoons olive oil, the lime juice, sugar and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
Tips:
- Choose the right corn: Use fresh, sweet corn for the best flavor. If you're using frozen corn, thaw it completely before using.
- Roast the corn: Roasting the corn adds a smoky, caramelized flavor that complements the other ingredients in the salsa.
- Use a variety of peppers: For a more complex flavor, use a mix of different peppers, such as bell peppers, jalapeños, and serranos.
- Add some herbs: Herbs like cilantro, parsley, and basil add a fresh, bright flavor to the salsa.
- Don't over-process the salsa: The salsa should have a chunky texture, so don't over-process it in the food processor or blender.
- Chill the salsa before serving: This allows the flavors to meld and develop.
Conclusion:
Cold corn salsa is a refreshing, flavorful salsa that is perfect for summer gatherings. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Serve it with tortilla chips, grilled chicken or fish, or as a topping for tacos or burritos.
