I'm not a big fan of cilantro, so I omitted it from the recipe. The dish still turned out delicious. The fresh tomatoes and onions gave it a great flavor.

This recipe is a keeper! It's easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. I like to add some chopped avocado and sour cream on top for extra flavor.

Not a huge fan of spicy food, but this dish had just the right amount of heat. The sweetness of the corn and black beans balanced out the spiciness perfectly.
