    I know this will get the scoldings from the self appointed recipe police for adding calories, but cooking the fresh peppers,onions and garlic (2 Xs as much as called for) in tiny bit of evoo adds lots of flavor, then add beans, cliantro and tomatoe sauce with a splash of red wine vinegar - yummy - 8/19/08

    Is it being too pushy to ask comments to be reserved until recipe is tried. Having to wade through comments about how good something sounds does not help anyone to evaluate whether or not to try the recipe. - 2/15/08

    Yumm-O!! I add fresh onion as well. I also added Tiger sauce to kick it up some. My son put a dollop of Fat Free sour cream in his and raved!!! Very good recipe! - 11/14/08

    I have made this twice, I added a small bit of salsa to spice it up. I also use actual peppers and onions, because to give it a bit of crunch. - 5/8/08

  • CLELITA
    Great and so easy! However, 4 portions from a 3.5 servings can is not realistic. I served it with rice and it was ok for 2 people. The cheese on top was a very good idea. - 9/11/08
