Mexican Jumping Beans

I going to try and keep this post short, since I only have a small window of time to complete my update. All three of my kids are momentarily entertaining themselves and I know it won't last very long.

The title of this recipe piqued my curiosity. For the record, these beans don't really "jump"...but they sure were a tasty side dish with our Quick and Easy Mexican Chicken last night!
