Ingredients
1 poblano pepper
4 ears corn
1/3 cup diced red onion
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and diced
1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Tortilla chips, for serving
Instructions
Preheat the oven to broil. Lightly oil a baking sheet or coat it with nonstick spray.
Place the poblano pepper on the prepared baking sheet and broil until the skin is blackened, turning as needed, about 5 minutes. Transfer the pepper to a bowl and cover it for 5 to 10 minutes. Peel off the skin, remove the seeds, and dice the pepper.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the ears of corn and cook until the kernels are tender and bright yellow, about 3 to 5 minutes. Remove and let cool before cutting the kernels off the cobs, yielding about 3 cups.
In a large bowl, combine the diced poblano pepper, corn kernels, red onion, jalapeno, cilantro, lime juice, olive oil, and ground cumin. Season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Serve the mixture with tortilla chips or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
