This turned out to be very good. similar to sometihng i make but the few extra like the spices and such made it really good sort of a twist. I just ate it without the taco shell :]

I actually used this for the bean mixture in the Seven Layer Dip I recipe instead of the refried for a nice vegetarian/kosher (and healthier) seven layer dip. I did change things up: I use pinto beans, which I prefer over black beans. I also cut the bell pepper and instead of cayenne pepper, I added an extra teaspoon of chili powder. Lastly, I substituted chopped, fresh cilantro for the cornmeal...amount to your taste. I highly recommend the latter if available, it gives it an authentic flavor!

Really good, easy to follow recipe, easy to make, and freezes real well too. I ate it as a replacement for beef, and it was great. My husband ate it with his beef as a topper and really enjoyed it too!

I used red chili beans and these were great on tacos. The consistency was perfect for tacos, not runny at all. Lots of spice. Next time I'll use hot salsa and chop the bell peppers a bit finer.

I omitted onion, and served this in crunchy blue-corn taco shells, topped with lettuce, olives, and a dollup of daisy. Enjoyed by all.

I actually wish I could give this 5 stars but I had one issue. This was super spicy!! I scanned the top reviews and there was no mention of it. I would suggest decreasing the cayenne pepper. Next time I make it I'll use a 1/2 tsp. My girls and I love beans so once the spice intensity is resolved this is sure to be a family fave.

This was a very tasty alternative to meat filling. Its better than simple beans. Its great also a a side dish or a dip. I did tweak it just a bit to my liking. I added 1 tablespoon cumin, 1/2 tablespoon cayenne and i added more garlic. This came out great. I put my leftovers in the freezer!
