Roasted Corn Pico de Gallo

There’s something magical that happens when sweet corn meets an open flame. The kernels blister just enough to bring out their natural sugars, adding a smoky depth that transforms this humble ingredient into something extraordinary. That’s the heart of this Roasted Corn Pico de Gallo—a bright, zesty, and utterly scoopable creation that’s as perfect for a backyard BBQ as it is for a quiet night in with a bowl of chips and a chilled drink.

What makes this recipe shine is its adaptability. At its core, it’s a simple mix: fire-kissed corn, ripe tomatoes, crisp red onion, jalapeño for just the right amount of heat, and a generous squeeze of lime to pull it all together. But from there, you can take it anywhere. Want something a little heartier? Toss in some black beans and halved cherry tomatoes. Craving a little sweetness? A handful of diced mango or pineapple brings tropical flair. Feeling indulgent? Add creamy avocado chunks right before serving.

This isn’t just a salsa—it’s a celebration of summer’s best flavors, customizable to your mood or menu. It’s perfect on tacos, grilled meats, or scooped up with tortilla chips while the sun sets. Whether you’re cooking for a crowd or meal-prepping for the week, this Roasted Corn Pico is the kind of recipe that never overstays its welcome. Fresh, colorful, and full of flavor, it might just become your new go-to.
