    Very simple, tasty dinner. I used Soyrizo and added a drizzle of Mexican crema and hot sauce. I would make this again.

    Great weeknight meal. I cooked pinto beans in the slow cooker, sauteed chorizo and swiss chard together in a separate pan, then mixed the two together and seasoned before serving as a soup with pickled onions and jalapenos, sliced radishes, shredded cheese, and tortillas.

    An easy weeknight meal with such great flavor. DH (who doesn't really care for beans) liked it and asked me to make it again. Served it with corn tortillas. Left the spinach out the first night, but then added it to the leftovers for lunch.

    This was very simple, quick, and delicious. I love the spinach with black beans. It can be eaten over rice to make a full meal. My husband did not enjoy this as much as I did.

    Used jalapeno deer sausage, precooked pinto beans, Swiss chard & 2 of the canned chilis (froze the rest). Terrific.

    Great recipe, made with spinach and garnished with goat cheese. I would recommend making it ahead if you can - it was very good the first night, but fabulous the next day.

    Pg. 284 Simple but very healthy and tasty. Added a bit more chorizo to satisfy the carnivores and increased the feta a little as well. Cooked the spinach directly in the pot to avoid using the microwave. Weeknight winner!

    I'm beginning to sound like a broken record w the recipes in this book however, I can't help but say that we absolutely loved this super-easy dish! Made as set out in the recipe without modifications and it was perfect! Well received by all, such big flavours and, love it w the spinach. Looking forward to trying w chard this summer. Excellent!
