Shuck the corn cobs, removing the outer husk and the silk and rinsing under water.
Preheat your grill (or gas stove) to medium-high heat.
Place the corn cobs directly on the grill (or stove) grates.
Cook for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the kernels are tender and slightly charred.
Remove the corn cobs from the grill and let them cool to the touch.
Use a sharp knife to cut the kernels from the cobs and place them in a large bowl.
Medium dice the jalapeños, tomatoes, onion, and cilantro.
Add to the bowl with the corn.
Add lime juice and salt and stir until everything is throughly combined.
Taste for seasoning and adjust accordingly.

Notes

You can easily roast corn on the stovetop using a skillet. To do so, first cut the fresh kernels from the cob. Then, heat a large skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat until it’s very hot. Add the corn kernels in a single layer and let them cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking. The kernels will begin to pop and char slightly. Continue cooking for 5-7 minutes until they are evenly roasted and golden-brown.
