I'm so thrilled to find this recipe. I grew up in San Diego and its the food that I go back for.. I don't usually buy serrano chilies, but it was so worth it. I was unable to find the powdered, so I used chili arbol. I will try to find the serrano's, dried, on an upcoming trip to Florida, and definitely try this again. This recipe is a keeper. Thank you.

I moved from California to Texas and don't have El Pollo Loco nearby. I loved their beans and these taste just like the real thing! Yum-o!

When I moved away from San Diego the thing that I missed most was the foods I could get there (what I would give for El Pollo Loco and Rubio's Taco's ) these were wonderful, brought the restaurant to my home. Yummy!! Will be making these again for sure. Thankx Lazyme
