p.s.

Original uses cherry tomatoes in a can, avocado, coriander leaf and stalks, red onions, chipotle paste.

I either didn’t have those ingredient or I hate them like the coriander leaf and avocado. I suppose the red onion, yellow  pepper, black beans, green avocado is for colour, I used what I had, I also added more spices as I felt like it could do with a few more. 😉 I turned our fab!
