NOTES : Something of a Luddite in the kitchen, I often cook my beans from scratch. This recipe, however, uses canned beans for a quicker meal. Living in New Mexico has inclined me to use pure ground chiles instead of chili powder, which is laced with garlic.

That's the recipe LauraB !

(Mine was pretty spicy... I used all the seeds that came out of the chile when I minced it. )

Is the calorie count of 72 for this recipe correct? It seems low. If it is 72, that's great.
