Delicious and super easy. I added some Paprika and onion powder to the mix. I too used minced garlic instead of the garlic salt. I reserved about half of the spice mix and added that to the beans and corn. Use a good chunky Pico de Gallo or salsa. I omitted the Cilantro. Along with a little brown rice and siracha sauce in a warm tortilla...yummy. This would also make a great base for any protein especially chicken or fish.
