I recall anticipating these cocktail weenies with grape jelly and mustard as a child at my mother’s holiday gatherings; it’s an old sweet and sour dish. Just wait; it will initially smell awful and look even worse. Never reveal the ingredients of the sauce before your visitors have tasted it; else, they won’t want to. Keep heated using a fondue pot and serve with toothpicks.

Reviews
So easy just added what I had , tomatoes, lettuce, extra sharp cheese. Delicious
Wow was this so good! I did omit the green salsa but added diced green peppers, a can of rotel and crushed red peppers. So easy and so good! I used the leftovers the next day to put over brown rice for a burrito bowl.
I was shocked how fulfilling these are, and I’m not a vegetarian at all!
Soooo easy and really good. I used a medium green salsa and I added a small can of diced green chiles. Will make again.
Too few beans in my opinion, so keep an extra can handy just in case. Very nice!
Delicious!
I didn’t cook the onions and used red salsa instead of green. Sooo good! would absolutely make again!
Beans out of a can are pretty bland and need a lot of help. If I make them again, I will make the beans from scratch, season them property and try for something a little tastier.
Amazing! No changes made. Served with guacamole, cheese, lettuce and tomato .
Kids loved it – made it with corn tortillas as we are gluten free and made them into quesadillas. Big hit!!
Love this recipe! Easy to make and flavorful!
I gave this 5 stars because it is so easy and flavorful (you can always add more spices) and with rice it can be the main course of a quick and easy vegan meal! I double the recipe, make a big pot of rice and I have dinner and a few lunches made!
This is really quite good; better than I expected. Definitely a good one for someone on a Plant Based Diet.
My family loved it! Quick, easy, and flavorful. We let it simmer about 10 minutes longer than the recipe suggested.
Had to use a different salsa and I added corn, was still very good. Will make again.
FRY Your Spices!!! First, Fry Onions until Lightly Brown. Then Add Spices. Fry for 1 Minute. Add WETIngredients. Blooming/Frying Spices Activate the Oils in the Spices and GivenYou that Punch of Flavor. Adding Spices with Wet Ingredients Boil the Spices and Do Not Give You the Flavor Intended AND you are Wasting Your Money. ALWAYS FRY SPICES BEFORE ADDING WET.??
Very tasty but we always add a fresh jalapeno – with or without seeds – to our black beans to add a bit of heat.
This is my first time reviewing a recipe. I couldn’t let this one go by without letting the recipe poster know how much we loved these tacos. These are better than traditional beef tacos! Easy, inexpensive and filling! I also made the Easy Cilantro-Lime Rice from this site, which I also highly recommend! As soon as we were finished eating I sent both these recipes off to my daughters.
I used Pace Picante sauce because it’s what I had on had. Very good! And easy!
This recipe is awesome! Can also be used as a bean dip.
I made exactly as the recipe was written, so easy and so delicious. Now a favorite staple of quick and easy meal. I served with Mexican rice for a vegetarian meal.
