Living in the south for such a long time, I have a close affection for Salsa recipes. Be it the Roasted Tomato Salsa or Grilled Corn Mango Salsa, it's always fun to make your own salsa and enjoy it with your Taco or Tortilla Chips.
I remember, during the Summer season, we used to make a big bowl of this Mango Corn Salsa and we used to enjoy it by the pool with grilled Chicken or mostly with Tortilla Chips!
Let's talk about the Taste
This salsa has a sweet and sour taste which tastes so amazing with Tortilla Chips or as a Taco side. There is a refreshing sweetness because of the Mangoes and the Sweet Corn. The butter grilled Sweet corn kernels taste fantastic. Top those with the crunch of bell peppers, the sweetness of onions, and the spiciness of Jalapenos. You have a salsa which is a total winner in all sense.
