We really enjoyed this and it didn't take too much time or work either. I made a few changes to the printed recipe: substituted ground pork for beef, omitted the bell pepper, cut the cayenne in half. Where there was a choice of ingredients listed, I used salsa verde and pinto beans. Also, I was pretty generous with the garlic (maybe 6 huge cloves).
