    Absolutly wonderful. I LOVED these, I left out the jalepeno (weak stomach) but put some lettuce and tomato on it and wrapped it up in a tortilla. Yumtastic. Hefty portions is right though, wow almost to much for one sitting - 3/19/09

    Glad you liked them :)
    I agree it's a lot for one sitting- I tend to spread my meals out a bit, so I usually eat a little and then have the rest later. I like to spray a tortilla with just a little bit of oil and brown it over medium-low heat until it gets almost crunchy, then use it like a chip :)

    I made these and they were great! I don't think I will ever buy the canned variety ever again. - 2/12/11

    I tried fresh cooked black beans in order to reduce the sodium content. Mashing was not as complete as if I used canned but the consistency was still good. Delicious! Will make again. - 10/18/10
