  1. Hi Sam, I’m making this to enjoy over the Labor Day weekend, I can only find the 11 ounce cans of Mexicorn so I’m going to go for it! Looks terrific! Thank you!

    • Hi Kris, Three 11 oz cans will put you at 33 oz vs the 30 oz in the recipe. The recipe will still work out great if you have a little extra corn. I hope you love it!
