What a different taste. Still not quite sure if I like it or not, thus the 4 stars. Truly, I think a little bit of lemon or lime juice would enhance the flavor somewhat. But that is, of course, my own opinion. Thnx for sharing your recipe, Miss Oregon. Made for PAC Spring 2010. You've been adopted. http://www.recipezaar.com/bb/viewtopic.zsp?t=327498&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0

!Que rico! This recipe is delicious, and a real comfort food too, despite being comparatively healthful. I used a blender for the beans since I'm too lazy to sieve them.
