Notes
If you’re using canned beans and corn, look for low-sodium or sodium-free options. This will give you more control over the saltiness of the dish. You can always add more salt to it as needed.
You can use any brand of sala you love for this recipe. If you like it spicy, go for a medium or spicy salsa.
Don’t forget to cover the pan while it cooks!
