Personal Notes:
This recipe is adapted from one on the livebetteramerica website. Original recipe called for a cup of canned beans, but there's no reason to not use the entire can. I've made a few other modifications (like suggesting parsley as an alternative to cilantro since Jan is allergic to cilantro).

John made this for me the other night and it was excellent - a recipe he picked up at the gym.
