Glance over our recipe index and, given the relatively young age of our blog, you might get the idea that my husband and I have an affinity for Mexican food. This is absolutely true. I don't think you can live in Southern California (or California in general) without developing an appreciation for the delicious flavors from our southern neighbors. I am fully convinced that good street tacos are a gateway drug to a lifelong addiction to light and spicy Latin flavors.

Veggies before chopping and dicing.

I mentioned a couple of weeks ago about my strong affinity for all things corn and while we were planning out which recipes to post over the next few weeks, we instantly decided this one needed to be included. I used to frequent Chipotle in college and grad school, but came to realize that my favorite thing about eating there was the corn 'salsa'. (I know this isn't technically a salsa and you probably know it isn't technically a salsa, but since that's what Chipotle calls theirs I'm going to go with it for continuity and clarity purposes).
