SO HOW'D IT GO?
This is delicious! ;)b I used canned tomatoes, because there aren't any good ones this time of year. Likewise, used frozen corn. I added 1/2 of a fresh jalapeno pepper (seeds removed), and only used about 1/3 cup of chopped cilantro. I will make this again and again. Thanks for sharing!!
