This was fantastic! So many options. I made as directed but added more beans,and omitted the red pepper flakes. I also used roasted red pepper from a jar (it's what I had on hand), added cilantro, and a little lime juice. My vegetarian husband LOVED it. Thanks - this will be made often.

We really like this. I used 1/2 can green chilis in stead of whole green chilies. I also left out the cayenne pepper. This is a family favorite.
