These were quick, easy, and great for a mid-week meal. For the stewed tomatoes, I opted for the kind with garlic in them. I used soft tortillas to serve it in along with some shredded cheese and sour cream.

This turned out pretty well, despite the basic directions. It wasn't clear whether I should drain & rinse the beans (I did), drain the tomatoes (did that too), or drain the meat after cooking (I didn't do that - I was afraid I might lose some of the seasoning). I also thought there were too many beans.

So easy and so good. I did "doctor" it up by adding some onion, garlic and tabasco. Also stuffed the tortilla with cheese and cilantro. Made a great meal with a salad.

I didn't expect this to be so satisfying. Drained the beans, warmed up the tortillas I filled. Great quick "I hate cooking" recipe.

These were so simple and yummy! My husband loved them... I just couldn't tell him that it was soooo easy! I like to bring this to work along with a couple of tortillas and heat it up for lunch. Thanks, Naner!

Very easy and very tasty! I was half expecting my husband and son to make irritating comments about the beans, but they both loved the addition of them. Who would've thought! Thanks for a great recipe.

Very good! I used Rotel tomatoes (added just a bit of cumin) and served it like chili with tostidos white corn chips and sour cream on top. YUM!

I didn't setout to change your recipe, Nanerpie, but when I discovered that my cupboards had every other type of canned beans, but black--and I'd already started to cook the meat--I had to do something quick! I substituted the black beans with 1 can of Pinto beans and 1 can of Navy beans. Since my beans were more bland than the black ones would have been, I also added an extra tablespoon of red chile powder and 1/2 tsp. cumin to the mixture. Because the end result was more soupy than I thought it would be, I served some of it on top of a large, warmed white flour tortilla as an "open-faced" burrito. I sprinkled some bits of cheddar and Velveeta cheese over its top--then popped it into the microwave oven for 1 minute, or until the chess had melted. My husband and I each had one of these, along with a salad and some canned corn for our dinner tonight. Next time I'll try this with some grated Monterey Jack cheese on top. Very quick and very yummy!

Great simple recipe! We served it wrapped in a flour tortilla plain and loved it. I had lettuce, sour cream and other toppings available but we liked them as is. The side dish I made Mexican Rice #25517. The two together were great. This recipe is a keeper.

This is an excellent flavor combinations. I used petite diced tomatoes with green chilies added instead of the plain stewed tomatoes. We served it up on flour tortillas with sour cream, shredded lettuce and cheese. The beans provide a little refried bean flavor without the extra fat. I did rinse the beans before using them to reduce the sodium content. This would also be an excellent enchilada filling. Thanks for posting.
