Notes
- This recipe as written makes a crazy huge amount. If you half it, don't worry about using 2 1/2 cans of beans. Use 2 cans or 3. Or replace one can of beans with corn. Honestly this recipe is pretty flexible.
- You can totally use chicken thighs too. This time around I used 2 thighs and 2 breasts.
