Ingredients:

2 ears of corn
3 plum tomatoes, seeded and diced
1-2 jalapeños, diced (adjust for heat preference)
2 red bell peppers
2 poblano peppers
1 medium yellow onion, diced
1 bunch cilantro, chopped
Juice of 4 limes
Olive oil
Salt and pepper

Instructions:
  1. Preheat your grill to high.
  2. Shuck the corn and brush with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper, then grill until lightly charred on all sides. Let it cool, and slice the kernels off the cobs.
  3. Lightly coat all the peppers with olive oil and grill them until they’re charred evenly.
  4. Place the hot peppers in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let them steam for about 10 minutes.
  5. Peel off the charred skins, remove the seeds, and dice the peppers.
  6. In a large bowl, combine the grilled corn, diced peppers, tomatoes, onion, and cilantro. Season with salt and pepper.
  7. Squeeze in the lime juice, adjust the flavor to your liking, and give it a good toss.
Tip: Make this salsa a day ahead and refrigerate it overnight for the best flavor. Perfect with tortilla chips or tacos!
