This is a recipe I found years ago that is supposedly from the Chipotle chef that created their corn salsa.

1 12-ounce bag of frozen sweet yellow corn, defrosted and drained (I always forget to defrost the corn and have never drained it)
2 medium-sized jalapenos, seeded and chopped (leave in some seeds for more heat if desired)
1/2 red onion, finely chopped (about 1/3 cup)
3/4 cup fresh cilantro, torn or chopped (I either forget the fresh, or the only supermarket in town is out, so I use dried)
the juice of 2 (juicy!) limes
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper

Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix, mix, mix. Season with additional salt and pepper if desired. Add more cilantro, jalapeno or lime according to your tastes!

I bet black beans would work well in this recipe if your goal was to use this on something that didn't already have beans, like as a salsa for tortilla chips.

You just created cowboy caviar and yeah, it’s fucking delicious.

I wish I could have a bite of that through the screen! It looks exactly like the real thing.

It is a quick and easy recipe to make.

I'll 100% make this as a topper for something. thank you.

Does it keep well refrigerated or do you recommend fresh serving only? I’d imagine the lime juice would break down the veggies and make them soggy pretty quickly.

I usually make it a few hours before serving, but continue to eat the leftovers with chips, or in a bean burrito with some Mexican crema, or cheese. It typically does not last very long in my house.

I will warn you that the red of the onions will leech out into the corn, if you use white corn it quickly turns pink.

Fair enough. I’d probably house it too. Lol

The pink corn could be fun. Nothing says “I love you” like St. Valentine’s corn salsa.

Add a can of black beans, 2 diced avocados and about half a cup (or to taste) of Italian dressing, and you now have a "Texas Caviar" - an epic chip dip.
