Nutritious and Delicious!
LOVE IT! Very simple, delicious and fresh taste, and extremely healthy. An official 'favorite' from now on.
Absolutely delicious! Easy to make and have in fridge for lunch at work.

@jenniealice: When you use any dried beans instead of canned beans, you still have to cook them before adding them to the recipe. The beans you buy in the can are already cooked and ready to eat, which is probably why your beans were still too firm.
This was very good, though I used bulk black beans from the store rather than canned, and even with soaking them overnight they were still too firm. Other than that this was a very good recipe.
My husband liked it so much. I used 2 small yams instead of butternut squash and the recipe came out fantastic.
Made this recipe for me and my boyfriend tonight and it was delicious! This recipe is definitely in our "keeper" file.

WOW!!! So, so, so yummy! I used yams instead of butternut squash, simply needed to cook a bit longer. A little coriander was lovely also!
Try this recipe changing cilantro for parsley or aromatic "epazote" .l
