"The whole house smells delicious while this is cooking. It's simple to make and has a nice variety of textures and flavors. I used white beans and chicken that I cooked previously which saved time. The cilantro and the jalapenos are the secret ingredients...don't leave them out. I would add more jalapeno next time because it wasn't enough heat to notice.

She doubles this recipe and throws in an extra can of beans and serves it with biscuits or warmed tortillas."

I love to try new recipes, and this is a wonderful site to find new additions. I rarely make the same thing twice because it's so much fun to try something different. My life long dream is to travel the world and eat my way around it.
