I followed the recipe with these changes, I used black beans instead of kidney beans, added a little bit of ground cumin, one chipotle chile minced with about a tablespoon of the adobo sauce, and garnished it with sliced green onions and fresh cilantro. It was easy to put together and delicious. If you can't find chorizo, you could use some other spicy smoked sausage instead. Thanks Susie for a great recipe.
