    I was surprised at how good this was! It was very easy to make also. I had it on a whole wheat tortilla with chopped lettuce and tomato and a little reduced fat cheddar cheese. Will definitely make again! - 3/30/10

    I made this in the crock pot with brown rice. I used chili peppers (because I don't like sweet peppers), and frozen corn. It came out pretty good, but my familly likes it hot! When I make it again, I'll probably skip the cider and and use more cayenne! - 4/2/10

    I saved this recipe a while back and forgot about it. As I was digging through my bookmarks I happened across it again and made it for my wife. She is a black bean fiend and absolutely loves this recipe! I am making it for her again right now. She packs it in tupperware and takes it to work. - 1/31/15

    I would remake this recipe by using fresh corn from the cob. Leave out the oil oil and Apple Cider Vinegar. Add: some black pepper and a little garlic and top it over brown rice or on top of a vegetarian corn baked tortilla. [As I am not only a vegetarian but I am also Gluten Intollerant] - 7/14/12

    This was fine. It got better when the flavors melded in the fridge the next day, on day one the cider vinegar overwhelmed the other flavors. - 12/28/11

    I loved these!! Followed the recipe exactly except added the juice of one lime. I used them as a filling for Mission Whole Wheat tortillas with a little salsa and reduced fat sour cream. Yum! - 8/3/11

    Dang, those are some spicy beans!! Although I'm a bit of a lightweight. REALLY tasty though. Might try with less corn and more beans next time. - 7/5/10

    This is great served over brown rice, though I added a little bit of salt and some chili powder. I will definitely make it again, though! - 5/26/10

    This was delicious and extremely easy to make. I had it on a tortilla for lunch and for dinner I sprinkled a bit of cheese on it and had it with some wheat crackers. I will definitely be making this one again. - 3/6/10

    I liked this and will make it again but will cut back on the cayenne. I should have heeded the advice I read on some other review about this. I like spicy food but this is a little too much for me. Otherwise, quite yummy! - 2/1/10

    I made this for friends (vegan and vegetarian) that came to work on our roof; it was served with brown rice and they loved it! I doubled the recipe including the cayenne and found that the longer it cooked the less spicy it became. This one is definitely added to the 'permanent' recipe box. - 8/11/09

    This recipe is great, thank you so much for sharing. I didn't have a red pepper or any fresh cilantro but it still turned out really tasty.

    Instead of cayenne pepper, I used this West African pepper blend I had purchased and it made it really spicy. I loved that there was no added sodium.

    This was delicious. We will cut back on the cayenne (bit spicier than my 8 yearold can take) but still it was great as a vegatarian burritto. Highly recommend and so easy. - 2/10/09

    I loved this recipe. I could taste the tang from the cider, the cumin, and the after bite from the red pepper. The garlic got lost as did the cilantro. I served this with rice and corn bread and cotija cheese on top.
    My boys did not like it however.

    This sounded wonderful but my family did not really enjoy it. I did like the sauce that went on top and plan to use it as a dipping sauce. - 2/4/09

    Really tasty!! Fast and easy too - this is a great recipe, and one I will make again and again. I've made it for dinner with friends twice, and both times it was a big hit. We had it on small corn tortillas with a sprinkling of Pepper Jack Cheese and some hot sauce. Yum! Thanks for sharing!! - 3/12/08

    This recipe is so awesome. I've loved it so much, its become a staple to my diet for the last few weeks! I can't get enough beans! I got some brown rice, freshly shredded cheddar cheese, low carb tortilla and a dap of sour cream to make it into a burritto to die for! - 3/8/08
