CONS

The preparation time is long, and the cooking requires a significant amount of attention, so it’s recommended to make it on the weekend.

The recipe can get very spicy due to the chili peppers, and it’s essential to adjust the heat level based on personal preference.

The recipe uses canned goods, which can sometimes be high in sodium, so it’s important to use low sodium options or rinse the beans before use.
