I wasn't really focusing on taking pictures of this dish because I didn't realize it was going to turn out so good. I had to use a roasted chicken picture from another dish and I didn't take a picture of the onions when they were completely finished but you get the idea. Also, the final picture is of the taco open so you can see what is inside.

1 - 8 oz can corn kernels
chipotle sauce or hot sauce, to taste
