Cooking Tip

Corn Kernels

Grilling the ear of corn and then removing the roasted kernels is an excellent flavor addition. Whole kernel corn from a can is a suitable substitute for the kernels taken off the ear of corn called for in this recipe.

Cooking Tip

Jalapeno Chili Peppers

For a hotter salsa add a second jalapeno pepper or add the jalapeno seeds into the salsa. If you really want to add some heat, serrano chilies are much hotter than jalapenos.
