Juicy ripe tomatoes and sweet summer corn perk up this fresh take on the old-school Southwestern casserole. Bonus: it just happens to be gluten-free.

Cooks' Note

This recipe uses a mixture of ground beef and fresh chorizo, but any type or mixture of ground meat you prefer can be swapped in in equal amounts.
