How To Make Grilled Pineapple Salsa With Mango and Corn [Vegan, Gluten-Free]
- Preheat your grill to high heat. Rub the shucked corn with 2 tsp of the olive oil, reserving the rest for later and sprinkle with the Chipotle pepper evenly.
- Place on direct heat on the grill and cook until charred, turning every few minutes. This takes about 10-15 minutes. Once cooked, transfer to a plate to cool.
- Rub the sliced pineapple with 2 teaspoons of the olive oil (1 teaspoon per side) and place on the grill. Cook until charred, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook an additional 1-2 minutes and then transfer to a plate. Turn down the heat to medium.
- Rub the mango with the remaining 1 teaspoon of oil and place onto the grill. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, slipping once, until charred. Transfer to a plate and turn the heat back up to high.
- Rub each flatbread with 1 teaspoon of oil (1/2 teaspoon per side) and sprinkle one side of each flatbread with the Chipotle pepper. Place onto the grill and cook until it begins to bubble, about 1-2 minutes per side. Flip and cook an additional 1-2 minutes (see notes).
- Immediately cut the flatbread into triangles (they crisp up fast, so cut them quickly to make it easier!)
- Cut the pineapple and mango into small cubes and add into a large bowl. Then, use a sharp knife to slice the kernels off the corn and add into the bowl. Finally, add in the jalapeño, cilantro, and avocado.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the lime juice and agave syrup. While constantly whisking, whisk in the olive oil until the mixture thickens.
- Pour over the salsa and stir until combined. Season to taste with salt.
- Serve with the chips and serve.
