Really loved this, but I had to make changes as I was missing black beans and peppers. (and the recipe doesn't say how much black beans to use!) So, I made everything else the same, but added sesame seeds and cranberries to it. Cut up a chicken breast in it to replace the missing black beans. - 3/5/10
