I thought this was good, but a little bland. My kids really disliked it, but a lot of kids don't like green chiles. I omitted the pimentos, since I didn't have any. I gave mine a good dousing of Chipotle Tabasco and that really helped with the flavor. I think if I make this again I will add some more salt, red pepper flakes, and black beans.Reply
