I too tweaked this recipe. I read almost all of the reviews first and saw that you could do just about anything and it will come out tasting good. I mixed my pinto beans with corn, black olives and tomato. I put this in between my layers and added cheese on top to each layer. I only made 5 layers. I served it with the salsa and sour cream. Good!!

I love this dish. I don't mash the pinto beans. I just leave them whole and I use a lot more cilantro, probably more like 2 cups. The fresh cilantro and tomato make it taste really fresh! Serve with sour cream and you have a nice meal.

I've made this twice now and my family has raved! I added a layer of baby spinich leaves the first time, and the second time I sauteed some shredded zucchini and onions to mix with pinto beans. I think you could do whatever you wanted to it and it would come out delicious and it's VERY easy.

Delicious and very satisfying. I added chopped onion and green chili to the mixture. Next time I might even chop up some jalapenos for the time. Another idea I have is to garnish it with a little quacamole on top but there are just so many possibilities. Easy to make!

The sky is the limit with this recipe. You can customize it to suit your taste. I added Mexican seasoned textured vegetable protein on top of the pinto bean layers and slices of smoked Gouda and green onions on the black bean layers. Pass around the hot sauce and Jalapeno slices for added the people that need more heat. Nobody knew this was meatless. Delicious will definitely make again!

We all liked this very well. I used parsley instead of cilantro, as my daughter dislikes cilantro. I might mix some taco seasonong in with the beans he next time to spice it up a bit. Thanks!
