I swear this might be one of Jason and my favorite recipes. I make it almost exactly as it says above, but I use a bag of frozen corn and I always dice up an onion and green pepper to mix in. We've discovered that we love to scoop this mixture out onto crushed tortilla chips or rice. I think the crushed chips are the best! They add a nice crunch to the dish.

This has to be a 5, 6, 7, keep going. I probably make this at least once every week to week and a half.
