COLORFUL CHIPOTLE ROASTED CORN SALSA



Colorful Chipotle Roasted Corn Salsa image

I've always loved Chipotle (the burrito restaurant's) corn salsa, and I found a recipe that approximates the cool, zesty taste. You can find the original recipe mine is based off of here, http://www.recipesecrets.net/blog/recipes/copycat-chipotle-corn-salsa/ I used canned corn for ease of use and to avoid using a grill, allowing fully indoor preparation. If you choose to use them, roasting and skinning the poblano peppers is the most tedious part of this recipe, and it will take some practice to get it right. You really need to blacken the skin to get it to the point where it will separate from the flesh easily. Note: It proved to be a medium salsa that sneaks up on you. After three chip-loads, your tongue really starts to wake up and notice.
