Mmm! Love your adorable baby! I've made a similar dish and it's always a nice hearty dish that comes together easily.
Do you ever use dried beans and cook them yourself? It seems like that would be cheaper. :)And if so, do you have any tips for making them as soft as canned beans?
By the look on her face, something must of have been good!
thanks, sharon! i think she's pretty cute too!
and janssen, i use the "time is money" philosophy when it comes to dried beans. i don't have the time to cook dried, but it is cheaper - you're right! oh - and i buy canned black beans by the case when they are crazy cheap.
jessica - i have been surprised at the things she has liked lately. she has that face with all sorts of things i wouldn't think she'd like! :)
Oooo, this looks SO yummy. Yes. I think I will make this tonight. How do you feel about substituting the green peppers for some green chilies? I LOVE green chilies in any mexican dish.
mmm... i vote yes for green chilis. i made it for my picky brother this summer and he requested it that way as well.
