  A good recipe but I recommend 2 tsp of ground cummin powder when you add the chilli powder as otherwise this recipe tastes flat. This is Mexican after all! Also remember to add plenty of salt and pepper. The cummin really brings out the flavour, everything else in this dish is perfect and its easy.

  I agree with Shion about the extra cumin and need for seasoning. Don't be shy with the coriander either! I kept it simmering a bit longer till it had thickened up enough. Made for a fantastic lunch with shredded lettuce, grated chedder and sour cream on the tacos. Makes plenty too.

  A good recipe. Very easy. Added some cumin, but it probably could have taken a bit more chilli powder. I ate it with wholemeal tortilla wraps instead of taco shells. A tasty supper.

  i added a few drops of the tabasco chipotle sauce for a nice smokey kick, worked really well! I also used black beans instead of black eyed beans.

  I added salt and pepper, more chilli and some cooked mince to mine, to give it substance. It was great.

  Very yummy! We also added cumin out of sheer instinct before we saw any of the comments, since this is a Mexican-style dish. It tasted really good. We used a can of mixed beans and had it with soft flour tortillas, lots of lime juice squeezed over, and a bit of creme fraiche blobbed on - yummeeee!

  Just had this for dinner and it was very tasty! I also added some cumin and an extra chili. I did however, only use 1 500g box of chopped tomatoes which was plenty! Will make again!
