I skip the green pepper and use an orange or yellow. I also use green onions for the onion. I use a 1/2 cup to 3/4 cup of sugar and 1 cup of oil. I aldo incorporate 2 cloves of minced garlic into bean mixture and skip powdered garlic. I have not tried this with cilantro although I do like cilantro.
