Commentary:
I actually acquired this recipe from my old roommate a few years ago. This dish makes an excellent side dish to any Latin dish and a great filling for Mexican dishes. You could also make this a dip for chips and veggies by pureeing or mashing the beans prior to cooking. For all of you cilantro lovers you should try doubling the amount for a bolder taste. I hope you enjoy!
