For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of smoked paprika or a dash of hot sauce to the bean mixture. If you prefer a creamier texture, mash some of the kidney beans with a fork before simmering. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro or a sprinkle of green onions for added freshness.

Nov 9, 2024I was skeptical about the Spam, but it actually works really well in this dish. It adds a nice salty flavor.
