This was really good! I halved the recipe but still used 1 can of black beans and 1/2 tsp. Tony's seasoning. I didn't have any rotel, so I mixed a can of diced tomatoes and a can of green chiles and used a little of that. It worked out great!

used one tomato instead of the rotel. Otherwise, I made it just about as written. Very good.
