I love a good salsa and this Copycat Sweet Corn Salsa recipe from Chipotle does not disappoint! Ready in 5 minutes!
Just like most salsa recipes, this sweet corn salsa is super easy to make. All you need to do is toss a handful of ingredients together and season with a little lime juice and salt.
If you are not familiar with Chipotle, it’s a chain of fast-casual restaurants specializing in tacos and Mission-style burritos.
Since I always seem to be in a hurry I used canned sweet corn for this salsa recipe. If you have the time, this copycat salsa from Chipotle tastes so much better if you use fresh corn on the cob.
Copycat Rating
Since the goal of a Copycat Recipe is for it to taste exactly like the original, it’s only natural to rate this recipe against the original. This Copycat recipe rates a solid 8 out of 10 in my opinion.
How Long Does Salsa Last
While several factors come into play, homemade salsa will last 4 to 6 days when stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. You can also freeze salsa in an airtight container or bag for up to 4 months.

While you can eat this delicious salsa with tortilla chips, my wife gets this salsa when she orders their chicken burrito bowl. One of her favorite items at Chipotle.
