On the Tailgate Menu: Copycat Chipotle Pico de Gallo and Corn Salsa

I love Mexican food. I love Chipotle. So when I found two recipes that were supposed to be copycats of their pico de gallo and corn salsa, I was all over them like white on rice.

These are both really easy to make and kind of no-brainers when you think about the ingredients in them. I've made them several times at home already and my family loves them!
