If you know me at all you know I am a huge fan of tacos. I honestly think that almost everything tasted better in taco form. To prove it I have a post dedicated to tacos. You will find my Carne Asada Marinade as well as the formula for vegan tacos. Plus, I have the recipe for two delicious cremas. (I am working on breaking this post apart but for now it’s all together in one comprehensive post about my love of tacos.
If you don’t have a grill you can just as easily make roasted corn in the oven.
- Just place the corn on a baking sheet under the broiler.
- Broil the fresh corn until it is charred.
- Make sure to rotate it every 5 minutes until it is done.
Making up a batch of fresh corn salsa is a great way to get a jump start on enjoying those summer flavors.
This easy corn salsa recipe is more versatile than you might expect. Use it in tacos or pair it with grilled meat of any kind. This salsa is also the perfect complement to a barbecue-centered meal.
