Spice up your tacos with this Roasted Corn Salsa. It is easy to make and goes well with fish tacos or is terrific with just tortilla chips. I just love my salsa and chips. Salsa is a staple at CASA LINDA. My kids even enjoy it as long as it is not too spicy. Of course the hubby loves the heat – the spicier the better for him. I am a medium heat gal myself, I like my salsa with a bit of a kick. That is why I always start with two jalapeños and taste this recipe as I go. The thing about jalapeños is you never know if they are mild or super spicy! Never awesome the little guys are mild or hot. I have bought jalapeños before that were so mild I used 8 in one batch of salsa.
Many people devein and deseed the jalapeños peppers, I normally do not do that. I like the heat of the peppers. During the summer I grow jalapeños in my garden in the summer months. I once had a harvest that was so spicy that one jalapeño was more than enough for one batch of salsa. So if you like it mild start with only one – if you like it hot start with two and you can always add more.
If you do enjoy mild salsa a great substitute is a pablano pepper. They are usually always mild. Since they are much larger in size you only need one for this recipe.
Bon Appetit,
