We all really enjoyed this. Even the boys, who mentioned…several times…that their lips were on fire.

The beans are cold? That seems…different. I probably would heat them up first.
@Katie M.,
They were room temp when I blended them.
I am making this…I love black beans! You could just heat the bean mixture in the microwave.
Sounds delicious! I am always on the lookout for meatless meals and this one fits the bill. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Erin, Yummo! we’re trying this one. Peace.
Defiantly making this! I recently cooked a ton of black beans and have them in the freezer.
new to this website. are your beans canned beans or dried and then you cooked them? how? i’m confused. sounds yummy, we love beans, so just wondering…
Looks pretty tasty ! Putting it on the menu for next week.
