This spicy corn salsa recipe is made with fresh, raw corn, spicy serrano pepper, crisp red onion, cilantro, sweet red pepper, lime juice, and garlic.

I was making some pork tacos for dinner, and instead of our go-to tomato salsa, mango salsa, or verde salsa, I decided to make something different. This refreshing and addictive corn salsa is made with raw fresh corn kernels, spicy and sweet peppers, onions, garlic, and lime juice, and it’s quick and so simple to make. This tasty raw corn salsa tasted fantastic as a topping for our pork tacos, and it was also delicious with tortilla chips.
