Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Yes, authentic Mexican cooking is a lot of work ... but so worth it! Because I always prefer rough textures to smooth ones, I didn't sieve the sauce, I used raw chopped onions instead of cooked ones, and I didn't mash the beans, so slightly less work for me than in the original recipe.

    I used dried New Mexico chiles instead of pasilla. The dish was tasty but it took a lot of work (and dishes) to make the components (sauce and beans), and I don't think the result justified the effort.
