Mexican cuisine features a wide variety of fresh, delicious salsas and other similar side dishes that taste absolutely amazing with tortilla chips or on top of most Mexican main dishes. One such delight is a classic corn salsa.
This is a simple version of this salsa that involves just a few other basic ingredients such as onions, cilantro, and jalapeños. There are similar versions that also involve the addition of poblano peppers and/or green peppers. You could modify as you wish and add more heat if you desire. 🙂
