Helpful Tips
To make this recipe even easier, use frozen corn instead of canned corn. Just thaw and drain before adding to the mix. For added flavor, mix in a can of diced green chilies or jalapeños if you like a bit of a kick. If you’re short on sour cream, Greek yogurt makes a great substitution.
Storage Instructions
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, pop it in the microwave or warm it in the oven until heated through.
