This is one of my favorite recipes. It was given to me by my aunt and I think of her and smile every time I make it. I recently tweaked the recipe to give it more protein with the addition of red kidney beans, quinoa & wheat berries. The chipotle pepper was my husband's contribution to give it more heat, but still let the intriguing sweetness come through. I love how my kitchen smells when I'm cooking this!
