Tex-Mex Corn Squares
A great vegetarian recipe from Homemakers' Magazine. A bean, corn and salsa mixture on a polentalike base. The chipotles (smoked jalapeno peppers) can be quite hot! I often just add a dab of the peppers when cooking for folks who are not keen on spicy food. Love the smokey flavour. EDITED:Feb.08...We really enjoy this served with puppitypup's "Mexican Night Salad" (#188160)
