The days are getting longer. The kids are out of school. The weather is growing hotter… it's summertime. It's time for flaky salmon and ingredients such as feisty jalapeño, fresh tomato, and that ultimate summer vegetable, an ear of sweet, crunchy corn. Add a dash of heat with chipotle mayonnaise and crumbly goodness of queso fresco, sit 'em all atop a crunchy tortilla, and we've got the meal for that's a true summer celebration. Tip: To keep corn kernels from making a mess, place the ear of corn in a bowl and hold vertically. Cut downward, rotating corn as you go, so kernels end up in the bowl instead of scattered on your counter.
