4th time making this. It is a staple now. Get a LARGE tomato. Those tangy fresh bits really liven up the whole dish. I make the recipe just as it says, the only difference is that I use one large can of corn and 2 different types of beans, and I try my hardest to keep it that way, because it's just so perfect the way it is. The first time, I followed advice saying that it was too dry, so I didn't use enough tortilla chips, but if you follow the recipe, it is not too dry. It is just right. I use HOT Pace Picante sauce instead of "fresh salsa" so maybe that makes it wet enough for the chips.
*to get the flavor of the toasted corn, make sure you at least get yellow corn chips, not white like Tostitos. I use a brand that my frugal husband got when I sent him to the store called "Calidad" and the flavor is going towards Fritos, but not QUITE as strong. Maybe use half Fritos, half Tostitos if you don't have Calidad.
MUST TRY!
** I made this for dinner the other night and shared with my coworker, and now I'm taking it to a Pot Luck at work tonight. So I went photo crazy while I was making it. It's not THAT good, to where I would obsess with it, but it IS a hit with the dudes, and I work in an Air Force maintenance shop... they make me think it's amazing.
