1 can diced tomatoes with chilis (15 oz)

Thanks for posting this recipe. I have been wanting to try to have 3 nights a week as meatless meals and this will be a great main dish.

This sounds very good. Thanks for sharing; I am going to add it to my list of recipes to try. :chef2:

Oh, a question...do you think pinto or kidney beans would work just as well? I like the texture of those better than black beans.

It would be fine to use whatever kind of beans you like best.

I wish I could edit the recipe to note that any kind of beans would be fine. Maybe I'll make a suggestion.

I agree that editing would be ideal :yes:

However, in the meantime, you could quote the recipe and add that note in the new message (underneath the quoted part).

This sounds sooo yummy!
Black beans are probably my favorite bean, so I'm always super excited to see a new bl.bean recipe.

I can see eating this as a dip with tortilla chips, like you mentioned, in a wrap, all sorts of things.

Thank-you, thank-you, thank-you!!!:applause:



**Oh & to the other Michelle-Pinto beans would probably be super yummy in this as well.:hungry:
Anytime I think Mexican food, I think pintos or bl. beans.

That really sounds delcious! I'll check the pantry, and whatever I'm missing, I'll pick up at the store! Healthy for the whole family and good for my diabetes!

My hubby would flip over this. He adores rice & beans. The kids turn their noses up at it, but the wrap thing, cheese, and sour cream, just might change their minds. I love anything in a wrap too!

Thanks for posting!

meant to ask...do you know if this freezes well? TY

 

[Sassyclass]

This sounds like what I'm looking for. I recently had the TexMex eggrolls from Grinders and loved them and this sounds really close to what was in them. I think I'll try this out and do it in the tortilla. I have everything except sour cream.

[Michelle]

I've got this in the oven now, and it smells so good. Can't wait to try it.

I used pinto beans, yellow onion, and skipped the tomatoes. :chef2:

 

[Michelle]

This recipe is a keeper. Delicious :lip:

 

[craftypam]

I have been eating it everyday to finish it! LOL

 

[Michelle]

I wish I had more! It was really good, and Dave isn't much of a bean eater, but he really liked it.
