For a spicier kick, use a hot salsa or add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the bean and corn mixture. To save time, use pre-cooked chicken or rotisserie chicken. Customize the salad with your favorite vegetables, such as bell peppers, cucumbers, or jicama. If you don't have Mexican-style corn, regular corn kernels will work just fine. Make it a wrap! Serve the chicken and bean mixture in warm tortillas for a quick and easy meal.
