For an extra layer of flavor, try grilling the corn before adding it to the salsa. This imparts a smoky sweetness that complements the other ingredients beautifully. Adjust the amount of habanero peppers to suit your spice preference. If you prefer a milder salsa, use diced tomatoes without habaneros or remove the seeds from the peppers before dicing. This salsa is best served chilled. Allowing it to sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving will enhance the flavors. Serve with tortilla chips, tacos, grilled chicken, or as a topping for your favorite Mexican-inspired dishes.
