Grilled Corn Salsa

---

I am happy to report that this recipe was a finalist in last year's (2008) taste of home corn recipe contest. Essentially, i grill vegetables whenever i grill something else, and this is a great way to eat them. This salsa is wonderful used in a burrito with black beans and jack cheese. I add tomatillo sauce to the top of my burritos.
