Coco: This is a great recipe to experiment with. We mostly stuck to the general ingredients list, but used black beans instead of refried beans and included cream of mushroom soup and corn (oh and no olives). We ended up throwing in a hodge podge of canned foods like Rotel and it tasted yummy! The perfect meal for when you have not gone grocery shopping in awhile.
