Use your very best salsa for this dish because that's what really creates the flavor. Make it as hot and spicy as you like, or keep the spices on the mild side to please a more sensitive palate. Use a chunky salsa for more texture if you like.
I often use frozen corn instead of canned because that's just what I have on hand. If you do, don't worry about defrosting the corn first. Just shake about 1 1/2 cups into the mixture; it will cook up just fine. You can also add a handful of black beans if you like. This is a very versatile recipe.
