Made this today with a few additions. I used 1 cup garbanzo beans, 1 cup white Northern beans and 1 cup kidney beans. Also used both red and yellow bell peppers. Added chopped cilantro and red wine vinegar. Delicious and addictive!

This recipe was a hit! Everyone loved it. And I was so happy to have leftovers for lunch today. The leftovers taste just as good if not better because they were marinated all night! Total make again. It would be a great camping meal too!
