Mirj's Note:

I made these funky little corn cups for a community get-together last Saturday night, and they were one of the most popular snacks there, not a single one was left to take home. A good appetizer for veggies/vegans.

This was easy to make and good to eat. The mango in the salsa added a nice flavor. Thanks for sharing. -Buddha-
