Recipe Review

A great concept that with some tweaking could be made excellent. I started with dried black beans, as suggested. However the recipe never tells you to add the beans, which confused my husband. The spice level was higher than I like (chipotle in adobo - next time select a smaller pepper!), and the flavor was somewhat unbalanced. There is a need for some acid - a squeeze of lime or perhaps some vinegar. A dollop of yogurt or sour cream would also be a welcome addition.

Given that this recipe is a "community pick", I thought I might avoid the editing errors I've found in other food52 recipes. I read the comments (most not very useful - commenting on how delicious the recipe looks), but it didn't help me to elevate this recipe.
