Special Precautions and Tips:
- If you don't have canned black beans, you can cook your own. Place dried black beans in a pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 1-2 hours, or until tender.
- If you don't have fresh jalapenos, you can use 1/4 tsp of chili flakes or cayenne pepper for a spicy kick.
- For a vegetarian version, omit the sour cream.
- Serve with your favorite toppings, such as guacamole, shredded cheese, or pico de gallo.
