Delicioso!

It's time for another recipe, friends. 'Cause I love to share when I find an easy, quick dinner! I'm just not one who can eat cereal for dinner. I really wish I was, because Sweets is so over watching me make supper.  When he was just a little bean, I would tuck him in the Moby wrap and chop, saute and stir away. He would nestle in, so close to my heart, and snooze while I made something for Hubs and I to eat. Now? I'm lucky if the Exersaucer and a handful of Cheerios entertain him for 10 minutes while I rush to throw something together. This recipe came together quickly and was very tasty. We don't eat a lot of meat in our house, so I liked that it had two kinds of beans in it for protein. Sweetie Pea liked it too, though I left the seasoning and the chiles off of his portion. So dig out your sombreros, we're going south of the border with:
