For a vegetarian version, omit the chicken and add more beans or vegetables.
Feel free to adjust the amount of honey to suit your taste preferences.
Add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the bean mixture for a touch of heat.
This casserole is also delicious with a dollop of guacamole or a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.
