I wouldn't call adobos "extremely spicy".....

But then again, my heat tolerance has gone up a lot over the years.

I love black bean though. I like sauteeing up a bunch of jalapeno, onion, garlic, and either bacon or crumbly chorizo and adding it all to my pot of beans. And I also throw in some chicken bouillon instead of just using water & salt. Sooooo yummy.
