Notes

To store leftovers, let the beans cool completely and then transfer them to an airtight container. They can last in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. For freezing, use a freezer-safe container and consume within 2-3 months. Use fresh ingredients if possible for enhanced flavors. Adjust spices to your taste.
