    This is really good - we made it as called for with extra dried chillis, added diced green chilis and a serving of jalepeno chicken meatballs (Costco) for some protein - 1/2/12

    I modified the recipe a little. Didn't make it as spicy and reduced the onions. I didn't have enough black beans so I used northern and kidney beans. Great recipe, the family really liked it! - 2/27/08
