My newest, most favorite recipe...so good you will want to make it every week. You can substitute whatever you want - the essentials are really the tomatoes, corn (can be canned, I guess), cilantro, lime, goat cheese. So worth the extra prep effort - it can be made in advance, too!! This recipe can even stand alone as a vegetarian meal, it is that good and hearty!
