Very easy and quite delicious, this versatile salsa is quick to put together. The chipotle pepper adds a smoky flavor, but if chipotle-seasoned tomatoes are not available, use plain petit diced tomatoes and add either chopped chipotle or jalapeno pepper, to taste. Save some salsa to serve with burritos or on a grilled piece of chicken or fish. Fresh or frozen corn can be substituted for the canned corn.
