I make mine with chicken thighs. I am not a beef or pork eater. Also roast my own Roma's and make my own "tomato" sauce" I think the original recipe came from a Martha Stewart Magazine. I don't use kidney beans in anything...just too big. I put black beans and pintos. I prefer the S&W brand "pinquitos" which are a small pinto bean, but you can't find them everywhere. I tweak the spiciness by the amount of roasted jalepeno that goes in. Its a winner with my family
