Chipotle Corn Salsa and Baked Tortilla Chips

This is my all-time favorite salsa. It has a smoky flavor and is kid-friendly and great as a dip. You can also use it as a tasty filling for a burrito or enchilada.

This is our go to salsa! Everyone raves about it! I use less lime juice. It’s a very flexible recipe: I just use what I have on hand, like red onion instead, sometimes add jalapeño and/or bell pepper, avocado diced if I have it, black beans instead of pinto if that’s what you have or make a double batch with both! I’ve used fresh tomatoes from the garden, even baby tomatoes. I add Penzey’s Salsa Salad Seasoning for more flavor. It’s actually a healthy meal all by itself if you’re in a rush!
