None whatsoever. Guess I should have mentioned that.
We did use frozen/then cooked, corn and black-eyed peas.
The black beans were in a can.

I think the recipe (not mine) was written that way for simplicity. A can of this, this, and this...

I'm pretty sure it's written the way it is so you don't have the defrost time to take into consideration.
