Copycat Chipotle Sweet Corn Salsa

The sweet corn salsa is an absolute must on my burrito at Chipotle so I have tried recreating this deliciousness using quite a few different recipes many times.  However, every single one I tried was just missing something!  Finally, after adjusting ingredients here and there I decided to try adding 1 teaspoon of sugar to the mix, (since that is what I do with my fresh tomato salsa and it just seems to elevate it), and I can't tell you what a difference that made!  Success!  It's finally perfect. 😈

Ingredients:

• 16 oz bag of frozen corn
• 1 jalapeno, seeded and finely diced
• 1/2 cup finely diced red onion
• 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
• Juice of 1 lime
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp fresh ground pepper
• 1 tsp sugar

Instructions:

1. Put the corn in a colander and run cold water over for a couple of minutes to partially defrost it.
2. Toss everything together in a bowl and mix well.  
3. Cover tightly and store in the refrigerator until time to serve!

Note:  You can also add some canned black beans and/orchopped tomatoes to this to bulk it up as a salad if you like!  Just drain and rinse the beans before stirring in.
