I found this recipe that is supposed to be a copycat of El Pollo Loco. I didn't have all the ingredients, so this is an adapted version. The beans are smoky, tangy, and a little sweet. Everyone loved them. I had to keep shooing the kids away from the fridge until it was time for dinner. They still snagged a few bites, though.
