Sauteed Corn and Salsa

I love this side dish when I make things like enchiladas or quesadillas. You already have your carbs in the meal with the tortillas so this is a nice option to serve alongside. It would probably be pretty good as a dip as well. And you can add other things like black beans or scallions or fresh tomatoes if you have them!

Make sure your corn is nice and brown before removing it from the heat - you want that roasted flavor!
