    I’ve eaten these at the Mayan Cafe and they are amazing. This recipe is spot on with flavor and texture. - 6/19/20

    I didn't have any pumpkin seeds, but the other ingredients were in my kitchen so I went ahead and made it without the seeds. It was really good and I'll make it again. Nice to have something to punch up lima beans! - 2/1/17
