roasted chili corn salsa
This roasted chili corn salsa is smoky, sweet, spicy and so juicy. It packs a lot of heat from the serrano pepper but, combined with the lime and sweet corn, comes off deliciously balanced and so darn good.

Ingredients
- 2 jalapeño peppers
- 1 serrano pepper
- 1 poblano pepper
- 4 ears of corn, shucked
- 1/2 onion, sliced into 1/4-inch thick rings
- 1 garlic clove, chopped
- 3 tbsp fresh-squeezed lime juice, plus more to taste
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/2 cup finely chopped cilantro
- kosher salt
- freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Adjust an oven rack 4- 6 inches below the heater element; preheat the broiler.
- Line a baking sheet with foil and place the jalapenos, serrano and poblano on it. Broil until blackened all over, watching closely and turning often, 6- 8 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and pull up the foil edges to make a sealed packet. Let chilis steam for at least 10 minutes.
- Line sheet pan with more foil and add the corn. Broil, turning the corn when you hear a popping sound, about 3 minutes. Continue to cook corn, rotating every few minutes until evenly browned. Transfer to a cutting board to cool.
- Place sliced onion on the sheet pan and broil 3- 4 minutes, until charred on the edges and softened.
- Peel off the skin of the peppers, remove the seeds and finely chop. Transfer to a medium bowl. Cut the corn kernels off the cob and dice the onion; transfer to bowl with chiles. Stir in garlic, lime juice, olive oil, and cilantro. Season with salt and pepper, add more lime juice, if needed. Serve with chips.
