Notes
Use regular white corn. I prefer shoepeg corn in this recipe because it's smaller and sweet, but if you can't find it, regular white corn is fine.Switch up the beans. Pinto beans and Black-Eyes Peas are my favorite combination for this recipe, but you could try black beans, navy beans, or chickpeas.
