    Made this but wasn't really keen. It didn't seem to know what it wanted to be. Certainly will not make it again.

    Loved it. I added garlic and used chilli flakes rather than chilli powder, ground cumin rather than seeds and plain paprika and it went down really well with the whole family. I would def recommend and make it again. Also so easy just to throw it all in the one pan. Next time, I will make with fajitas or have with some rice.

    I took note of the other positive comments and used ras el hanout, reduced the sauce right down and served with mint yoghurt. Really quick, easy and tasty

    This was delicious! I used peri-peri, and a tsp each of ground coriander and cumin. I served it with guacamole and sour cream. Definite winner.

    OH didn't like the pinto beans but not sure whether to subsitute them with.............. Was lovely though and finally a recipe that actually serves the number of people it claims to!

    My husband and I really enjoyed it. Couldn't find pinto beans so used black-eyed beans instead. Would make again.

    We loved this but we found the recipe as written provided enough for 3 people, not 2. Like Jodie, above, I used black-eyed beans, as I had no pinto beans.

    Loved this. Couldn't find any pinto beans so used a tin of Tesco mixed taco bean (pinto beans, black eyed peas, kidney beans and red peppers in a chilli sauce) instead, it was not as thick as the dish in the photo but yummy! In fact I'll add more beans next time to pad it out. I also used ground cumin rather than seeds. Served with tortilla chips and sour cream. I'll definitely make it again (and again...!)
