      This recipe is very close to the one we used in the EPL restaurants.

      This technique add great flavor to canned beans. I did not drain the beans and added just a bit of water. I used ground ancho chile pepper instead of ground serrano because that's what I had. I sliced the whole serrano chile lengthwise before adding it to the beans. Spicy and good.

      Surprise, surprise...I really didn't think this would have any real flavor...but it did. I have to admit that I cut the recipe in half but used the full amount of chili (sliced and kept in the beans) only because we love the heat. Now...it didn't say to drain the beans and based on looneytunesfan photo I decided not to add any water. Loved it! Thanks for posting. :)

      I couldn't find any ground serrano chile so I replaced it with ground pasilla chile, I also cut the oil in half and otherwise followed the recipe. My DBF was pleased to get the serrano for his taco. These beans make a quick and easy side dish perfect for any Mexican Dinner. Thank you Lazyme :o)

      I'm so thrilled to find this recipe. I grew up in San Diego and its the food that I go back for.. I don't usually buy serrano chilies, but it was so worth it. I was unable to find the powdered, so I used chili arbol. I will try to find the serrano's, dried, on an upcoming trip to Florida, and definitely try this again. This recipe is a keeper. Thank you.

      When I moved away from San Diego the thing that I missed most was the foods I could get there (what I would give for El Pollo Loco and Rubio's Taco's :) ) these were wonderful, brought the restaurant to my home. Yummy!! Will be making these again for sure. Thankx Lazyme
