Chipotle Bacon Corn Salad

It's SRC time again! Each month, as part of the Secret Recipe Club, we're assigned another blogger. We get to select a recipe from their blog to recreate. This month, I got Micha from Cookin' Mimi. You might remember her from Share Your Stuff Tuesday or Inspire Me Monday. Looking through her blog, I found lots of Southern cooking. The type of stuff I'm sure James wouldn't mind me cooking more of and the types of food I feel I should be more familiar with. I debated between Southern staples like sauteed kale and even further Southern food, like taco potato wedges and corn salsa. Then, I decided to make Jalapeno Bacon Corn. Except I didn't have any fresh jalapenos. I did, however, have some chipotles, which are just smoked jalapenos, so I went with it. And with all the heat and humidity around here, I thought I'd make a chipotle bacon corn salad. Keep the yumminess, skip the cooking! Serve this as a side, or like I did - as a salad topping! This stuff really packs in a big hit of flavor, and we enjoyed it.

Do you prefer the flavor of regular jalapenos or the smoky chipotles?
