Here's what you’ll need to make the best Chipotle corn salsa:

During the pandemic, Chipotle shared a bunch of recipes with their many followers.

They gave the ingredients but not the quantities, so it took a bit of trial and error to get this right.

And even then, I’m sure some people will question this recipe because I use jalapeños.

But that's what they use in the video (and what employees say they use)!

Even though the website states "roasted poblanos" they clearly use jalapeños in the video.

I’ve made this both ways, for science, add while I love the smoky flavor of the poblanos, I prefer the heat of the crisp jalapeños.

Plus, they’re easier to get your hands on. Though if you can find poblanos and feel like roasting them, be my guest!

To store in the fridge: Place it in an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator for up to five days.

Keep in mind the lime juice will continue to pickle the onions and jalapeños. So it will taste tangier the longer it sits.
