stir in the chilies and coriander. Cook the tomato mixture over a
fairly high heat for about 10 minutes, until it is well seasoned and
thick.
Add the tomato mixture to the beans and let everything cook,
uncovered, over low heat for about 15 minutes.
Serve in small individual bowls with grilled meat, or add some more
liquid and serve as a soup. misc04
