The Sunday Funday Bloggers are sharing Salsa Recipes today.......
Cam of Culinary Adventures with Camilla said "Let's Salsa".  That sounds like a fun Sunday to me. How about you? 

Corn Salsa

Salsa:

We love salsa around here and I have shared numerous recipes including this Apple Pomegranate Salsa on Shrimp Tacos, Grilled Salsa Verde, Mango Salsa and Pineapple Salsa served with Grilled Pork Chops.  

I am anxious for more salsa recipes.  Let's see what the others are sharing today......
I always have canned beans on hand and my new favorite is the tri bean blend that is now available containing a mixture of Kidney, Pinto and Black Beans.  If you can't find this tri bean blend you can make your own or just use your favorite bean to make these burritos.

The corn salsa would be great on other types of burritos as well or on grilled chicken or pork.  Heck we ate the leftovers on tortilla chips with our Margaritas and loved it.
