sgrishkaI made enchiladas for dinner and choose these beans to accompany them. I was expecting a lot of flavor from these beans...but surprisingly, they came out pretty bland and were very soupy when removed from the oven. For my taste, they were too spicy and lacked any real depth of flavor. However, the leftovers improved with age. After a few days in the frig, the spiciness mellowed and the other flavors came through. So it would probably be wise to make them at least a day or two ahead, and perhaps cut back on the jalapeno and water. Overall these beans were OK, but not particularly worth the effort.
