For an extra layer of smoky flavor, consider grilling the peppers and onions before slicing. Feel free to substitute the pinto beans with black beans or your favorite type of legume. If you don't have rotisserie chicken on hand, you can use cooked and shredded chicken breast. For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of your favorite hot sauce to the vegetable mixture.
