Copycat Chipotle Corn Salsa Recipe 425 Food

I've always loved Chipotle (the burrito restaurant's) corn salsa, and I found a recipe that approximates the cool, zesty taste. You can find the original recipe mine is based off of here, http://www.recipesecrets.net/blog/recipes/copycat-chipotle-corn-salsa/ I used canned corn for ease of use and to avoid using a grill, allowing fully indoor preparation. If you choose to use them, roasting and skinning the poblano peppers is the most tedious part of this recipe, and it will take some practice to get it right. You really need to blacken the skin to get it to the point where it will separate from the flesh easily. Note: It proved to be a medium salsa that sneaks up on you. After three chip-loads, your tongue really starts to wake up and notice.

Fans of Chipotle restaurants will wait in notoriously long lines for the chain's made-to-order burritos. (Yes, we're guilty, too; there's a location right across from our office.) Founder Steve Ells, a former San Francisco chef, hit on a magic formula with his concept for a mix-and-match taqueria: He opened his first Chipotle in Denver in 1993 and now has nearly 1,100 locations. Ells came up with all the recipes himself, including this popular corn salsa. If you get lucky at the restaurant, your burrito maker will pile on a little extra. If you don't, you can make this recipe from Food Network Kitchens - and eat as much as you want.
