This is not the right picture for this dish, but the recipe is really good! I sauteed some onion and yellow peppers and added it to black beans instead of the pinto beans. Otherwise I followed the recipe and it was very good. I'm looking forward to eating it for lunch tomorrow. It would probably be good with other veggies added to it as well, like zucchini.
