Tips for selecting ingredients

When selecting the oil, make sure to use a vegetable oil with a high smoke point, such as canola or sunflower oil.
When selecting the cheese, look for a Mexican 3 cheese blend for the best flavor.

Ingredient substitutions

Oil: Instead of vegetable oil, use olive oil. The benefit of this substitution is that olive oil is a healthier option than vegetable oil, and it has a mild flavor that will not overpower the other ingredients.
Taco Seasoning Mix: Instead of Mission Brand taco seasoning mix, use a homemade blend of chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, oregano, and paprika. The benefit of this substitution is that it allows you to control the amount of spices used and customize the flavor to your preference.

Variations

Omit the 1/2 cup of corn kernels and replace the salsa with 1/2 cup of guacamole.
