I thought these were great! Very simple to make and very flavorful. Extremely filling. I did not make any adjustments to the recipe (except to use an orange pepper because I was out of red), but I may try garlic next time.

not good. Way too many beans- overall just not worth it.

I omitted the red pepper and I added lime juice instead of lemon juice. I also added a Tbsp of crushed garlic and fresh cilantro. We served it on a wheat pita. Very, very good.
