Yield Makes 1 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 ear of corn
1 1/2 pounds ripe tomatoes, seeded and chopped
3/4 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 serrano chiles, stemmed, seeded, and minced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

1 Heat a dry grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the corn, turning occasionally, until darkened in spots, about 10 minutes. Set aside until it is cool enough to handle.
2 Using a sharp knife, carefully cut the kernels off the cobs and add them to a medium bowl. Mix in the tomatoes, onion, cilantro, lime juice, and serrano. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and chill for at least 30 minutes, until flavors blend. (The salsa can be made up to 4 hours ahead.)
