This was very good! I halved the recipe and used orange bell pepper (had on hand) and parsley in place of cilantro. I think I could have used the full can of beans instead of half, but then I love black beans (will use the rest for something else!) Decided about half-way through the bake time to make some rice to serve with, so threw together recipe #36346 (made with o.j. instead of lemon). Thanks for sharing!
