Directions
Warm a large skillet over high heat. Once it’s hot, add the corn kernels and cook them, stirring often, until they start to get a little charred and smoky—this usually takes about 5 minutes. While the corn is cooking, combine the jicama, red and white onions, red and green bell peppers, olive oil, both types of vinegar, salt, cumin, black pepper, and chili powder in a big bowl. When the corn is ready, toss it in with the veggies and spices. Finally, add the cilantro, chopped tomatoes, lime zest, and lime juice, then give everything a gentle mix to bring all the flavors together.
Simple Serving Suggestions
This salsa pairs wonderfully with grilled meats, fish, or tacos. It also makes a great topping for chips or as a fresh side salad to brighten up any plate. Try it spooned over avocado toast for a tasty twist.
How To Store For Later
Store the salsa in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The jicama will stay crunchy, but the flavors develop best when served fresh. Give it a gentle stir before serving again.
