This recipe makes enough for a generous side dish, perfect for picnics and backyard grilled suppers; but if you’d prefer to make this a one-dish meal, add in two generous cups of cooked chicken or drained canned black beans, pour into a casserole, cover and bake in a moderate 350ºF oven for 20 to 25 minutes or so, until heated through.
