Swaps & notes

If you prefer black beans over kidney beans, you can use two cans of those instead or vice versa. You can swap out any of the for beans of your choosing as well. Don't care for peppers? You can use another veggie, such as mushrooms, instead. Customize the recipe with the vegetables, spices and sauces you enjoy most. If you want it spicy, throw in extra cayenne, hot sauce or red pepper.
