This is absolutely fabulous! I loved every bite of it! I make my own salsa, so I used that. It is spicy so it definitely gave this dish a "kick". I didn't have mexicorn, so I used regular can corn. I also used taco seasoning instead of the chili powder. My kids liked eating this inside a tortilla shell, like a soft taco for them. I will be making this often, as I always have these ingredients on hand. Thanks for sharing this wonderful dish!
