ALMOST-FAMOUS CORN SALSA



Almost-Famous Corn Salsa image

Fans of Chipotle restaurants will wait in notoriously long lines for the chain's made-to-order burritos. (Yes, we're guilty, too; there's a location right across from our office.) Founder Steve Ells, a former San Francisco chef, hit on a magic formula with his concept for a mix-and-match taqueria: He opened his first Chipotle in Denver in 1993 and now has nearly 1,100 locations. Ells came up with all the recipes himself, including this popular corn salsa. If you get lucky at the restaurant, your burrito maker will pile on a little extra. If you don't, you can make this recipe from Food Network Kitchens - and eat as much as you want.
