This was so easy for me as I was needing something quick for the annual corn hole tournament. The next day I made a batch for me adding an extra onion, vidalia. I wished I remembered to add the jalepeno's for bite but will have to try next time and throw in some chicken for a main dish. Very healthy and tastes great too!

I made a version of this which I know was not authentic but tasted good! I did not add black beans as I didn't have any. I did not add corn as we are corn free. I used Recipe #23641, sunflower oil to be soy free (It did leave a sunflower taste I'm not used to) I used bottled lime juice and sea salt.

Love the different beans in this recipe. So easy to make I found it didnt need the salt. I added a little extra cumin. I also used cherry tomatoes cut in half. Served with fajitas and avocado and shredded cheese. Will be making this again. Thanks for sharing this recipe. Made for the "Cool Beans" in the photo forum.
