This was surprisingly flavorful, but the cilantro is definitely a must. I mixed together everything except the cilantro and let it simmer for an hour while I waited for my husband to come home with the cilantro. I tasted it while I was waiting and was totally not impressed. It just tasted like starchy bean liquid with a heat from the cayenne pepper. After I added the cilantro and let it simmer for awhile, it was a whole different taste--a hundred times better. We both liked it, and then I added some lime juice, and that is a great optional addition, but following the recipe and using the cilantro is a must.
