    This was an easy and very good recipe. Pinto beans are so good for you and I like that this uses olive oil (the good stuff) and NOT lard or something. The dish was a hit for everybody that was eating! - 11/16/07

    This is truly a simple and hearty side dish. I did not have beans with jalepenos, so I used plain pinto beans. Used only 1/2 cup chopped onions and 2 cloves garlic, and it was really good. Thanks for sharing. This will be a staple for us from now on! - 9/3/07
