This recipe was a nice surprise....pretty easy, and tasty, too. I went ahead and used the whole can of chilis....it was QUITE hot, but we served it with sour cream, which helped to mellow it out (and was a nice complement, as well). With some sauteed bell peppers and onions and black beans, a satisfying spicy meal.
