    Easy and yummy! It's like protein-filled comfort food! I also drained the beans, and the chiles, but not the tomatoes. - 1/6/11

    Easy recipe to make with a great taste. I was afraid it would not have enough spice, but it was great! Will make it again. Followed the directions exactly, except I drained the beans, assuming this was what I needed to do.
    Thanks for sharing! - 3/11/07
