I'm not sure why, since the salsa I used was mild, but it was really spicy! I even cut the cumin to a little over 1/2 tsp. I had about 1/4 C of sun-dried tomatoes and thought I had diced tomatoes, but no deal. So I added a full 15 oz can of corn to compensate. Didn't use the cilantro and used a colby/jack cheese. Nice flavor. Just a little too spicy for our liking.

I live on the beautiful Central Coast of California. I am a 46 year old single mom and student (I got my AA degree in business management May 05).
I used to love to cook and try new recipes that is until my kids got to the point of...YUCK! I'm not eating that! Thank goodness they are growing up and willing to try new things now, so I am once again trying out new recipes.
I love to collect recipes and Recipezaar has made it so easy and paper free!!! (*cringes* and thinks of the drawers full little pieces of paper with recipes on them) My favorite cookbook is my mom's old (1930's) Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook. Followed closely by the "______ the Beautiful" series, of which California the Beautiful (of course) is tops on that list.
