Share a Spoon of Beans!

I am cooking up some Mexican food

with Think Tank Momma today

at her Share a Spoon party!

I am bringing the beans!

 I am not sure I can write this without feeling 8 and giggling...

I love beans, always have.

My son just recently discovered them....

along with that he also discoverd that cute little rhyme..

"beans, beans, their good for your heart..."

I am pretty sure he did not hear it from me.

The little diddy is playing over and over in my mind!
Sorry, I know it is juvenile...
but I have had ZERO sleep,
pretty much anything will crack me up...
or crack me! 
Anyway, I love this recipe...

super-duper easy and tastes awesome!

While doing so add the lime juice.
