This is a tasty dish.
Goes well with Crackers or Tortilla Chips or can be used as a side dish.
Haven't tried with Potato Chips.

Thought I'd add a picture.  Made some today for tomorrow night.

Very colorful.  Good way to get those black-eyed peas for New Year's Day.

Never heard of it, but it looks good. Will have to try it.

I've had a version of it and it's wonderful!

 The title is catching - made me look.

My wife used to make that pretty regularly several years ago.  Her and her daughter really enjoyed it.

I am not a huge bean or cilantro fan, but if I saw that on a table I would have to try it out.

Are implying you didn't ? 

This looks like something that I'd enjoy. Any reason frozen vegies/beans couldn't be used instead of caned?

I do not like the majority of the ingredients.

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.

With the exception of tomatoes, I stopped eating canned foods 50 years ago. But you are right, no need to defrost or cook canned.
