Awesome recipe! I cooked bag of dried black beans and had a lot left over, so I spent so time looking for a creative way to use them. This hit the mark! I didn't have any parsley, cilantro, serrano pepper, or red onions on hand, but I followed the rest of the recipe and it was still delicious. What a healthy and filling meal!
