    im a vegetarian so i used it as my taco filling and seasoned it like i would the ground beef.

    highly recommend.

    i also used it in buffalo "chicken" dip once as the binder that the chicken would be. it was delicious - texture was obviously different - but my meat loving husband still ate it.

    Corn, cilantro, onion, and tomato are essential- then anything else you want! Serve with black beans. I'm currently living in S. America, where it's from and common. If they dress it up at all, this is pretty much what I see... corn, corn, and more corn!
