This recipe does not call for beans, and I recommend you try it that way. They can always be added later if someone (like my wife) insists on ruining it with beans. While deer hunting on the Nueces River, someone shot some ‘camp meat’, and I had to cook it up. I diced it into 1/4 inch cubes, browned it in a cast iron pot over an open fire, and went from there. I didn’t have oregano, corn meal, crackers or garlic, but served flour tortillas with it and everyone enjoyed it.
