Ingredients
  

  • 3 large corn on the cob (or 15oz canned or frozen corn)
  • ½ red onion, diced
  • 1 serrano or jalapeño pepper, diced
  • 2 tomatoes
  • 1 bunch cilantro, chopped
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon chili powder
  • salt to taste
  • 1 lime, juiced

Instructions
 

  • Prepare all the ingredients. Dice the tomatoes and onions, chop the cilantro, then seed and finely chop the Serrano or jalapeño peppers. 
  • Mix all of the ingredients with the seasonings in a medium bowl and stir well.
  • For a better taste, place in the fridge to marinate for 20-30 mins. The flavors come out more after it sits.
  • Serve with fresh tortilla chips or use as a topping to your tacos, salads, or burrito bowls. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Any longer than that and the tomatoes become too mushy.
