I am unsure what those shoepeg corn kernels are, as I have never seen them around where live. I think I will use an equivalent amount of fresh bi color corn when I try this salsa recipe. I think since it has protein in it with the beans, it would make an awesome filling for quesadillas, or even on its own!
