Charred Corn and Black Bean Salsa image

This charred corn salsa came about when I wanted to make use of some leftover ingredients after making a Mexican dish the night before. Broiling a few of the ingredients up front and using fire-roasted tomatoes gives it a nice smoky flavor. The recipe as-is will yield a salsa on the spicier side of mild. Alter the spice level by increasing or decreasing chili powder to taste. Serve with chips or use in any recipe that calls for salsa.

I thought the salsa was just okay. It wasn't as flavorful as I was hoping.

The salsa was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. Next time I'll use less jalapeño.

This recipe was a huge hit at our summer cookout! I love the combination of charred corn and black beans, and the salsa was the perfect addition to grilled chicken and fish.
