Corn Relish/Pico

Got this recipe from a friend in our Sunday school class.... I cannot take credit for its awesomeness.  But this is great as a pico to go on tacos/fajitas/taco salad OR just as a dip with tortilla chips.  I could eat the entire bowl myself!

can white shoe peg corn (drained and rinsed)
can black beans (drained and rinsed)
can petite diced tomatoes (drained and rinsed)
can of rotel (with juice)
half a red onion, diced
bunch of green onion, diced
6 tbsp of fresh squeezed lime juice
6 tbsp of veg. oil
salt, pepper and cumin to your liking
 This is all dumped into a bowl and tossed together.
bunch of cilantro, I chop and toss this in right before I serve

Super easy recipe to tweek... add more or less of something to your liking.  :)

Corn Salsa

Ingredients:

• 2 cups corn kernels (thawed-out frozen corn)
• 1/3 cup chopped red onion
• 1/4 cup chopped red bell pepper
• 3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
• 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
• 1 to 2 tablespoons finely chopped jalapeno pepper (seeded)
• Salt to taste

Directions:

Combine all ingredients and serve.

I think it tastes best when it’s a little cold, or room temperature, but not heated.

If you've ever had the corn salsa at Chipotle, this tastes almost exactly like it. It's not exactly the type of salsa that you dip chips in, because it doesn't really stick to the chips, but it's great served on burritos. When I make this salsa, it's when I'm serving giant build-your-own-burritos, like at Chipotle or Freebirds. I grill chicken and/or steak, or I buy pre-cooked fajita meat, buy the giant tortillas, heat up a can of black beans (you can use refried or whatever beans you like), make instant rice (white or mexican), make some guacamole, make or buy some salsa, buy some sour cream and grated cheese, and have all those things in separate bowls where people can pick and choose what they want. You could also have diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, etc. Anything Mexican that you like. It's a lot of little things to get ready, but it's not hard, especially if you don't make it all from scratch. I really like making the regular and corn salsa from scratch, but I take shortcuts on everything else. If Clint's not around to grill the meat for me, I just buy that pre-cooked, pre-seasoned fajita meat from Wal-mart, and it's actually pretty good. All you do is heat it up in a skillet for a few minutes.

Enjoy Burrito Night!
