• This can also be made with the other white meat, pork.
• To really spice it up you can choose other chiles like jalapeno or Serrano.
• Use navy beans, cannelloni beans, or any other white beans.
• Cut the Italian Seasoning to 1 1/2 teaspoon and add 1/2 teaspoon of cumin for a smokey Mexican flavor.
