Steps:
- Process beef, pork, garlic powder, 1/4 cup cilantro, 1 1/4 tsp. salt, and 1/2 tsp. chili powder in a food processor until evenly distributed and well combined, about 2 minutes. Roll mixture into 4 balls.
- Rub one 16x12" piece of parchment with a little bit of oil. Place 1 ball of meat on one half of oiled paper, then fold other half over. Using a rolling pin or wine bottle, gently roll meat into a very thin oval between parchment (it should be about 9x6"). Transfer, with parchment, to a rimmed baking sheet. Repeat with 3 more sheets of paper and remaining meat. Chill until ready to use.
- Slice kernels off ears of corn and transfer to a large bowl. Add tomato, onion, avocado, chile, lime juice, and remaining 1/4 cup cilantro, 1 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. chili powder and stir to combine. Let sit while you cook the patties.
- Heat 1 Tbsp. oil in a large heavy (preferably cast-iron) skillet until smoking. Working one at a time, peel patty off greased parchment and sear until browned and crisped on the bottom, about 2 minutes. Turn and cook just until cooked through, about 1 minute more. Transfer to a plate and repeat with remaining patties.
- Top patties with corn salsa.
- Do Ahead: Patties can be formed 2 days ahead. Chill in parchment on a covered rimmed baking sheet.

Tips:
- Fresh is best: Use fresh corn kernels for the best flavor and texture. If you don't have fresh corn, you can use frozen or canned corn, but the flavor will be less intense.
- Roast the corn: Roasting the corn adds a smoky flavor and brings out the sweetness of the kernels. You can roast the corn on the cob in the oven or on the grill.
- Use a variety of peppers: This recipe calls for jalapeño peppers, but you can use any type of pepper you like. Poblano peppers, Anaheim peppers, and serrano peppers are all good choices.
- Don't overcook the salsa: The salsa should be cooked just until the vegetables are softened and the flavors have had a chance to meld. Overcooking the salsa will make it watery and bland.
- Serve immediately: Mexican corn salsa is best served immediately after it is made. However, you can also store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
Mexican corn salsa is a delicious and versatile dish that can be used as a dip, a side dish, or a topping. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy snack or side dish, give Mexican corn salsa a try. You won't be disappointed!
