  1. I am going to be making this all summer! I had it with some grilled chicken, and the next morning with scrambled eggs and some aged cheddar. It would also be great over a salad. The only change I made was to use canned tomatoes, and only because the ones at the store didn't look so nice. Thanks - very refreshing!
     
  2. Barb, This was Oh So Goooood. it Tasted Somewhat like the Southwestern Rice dish at Taco Belle That I love so much.I won't buy fresh tomatoes at the store during the winter,so I drained a can of Diced tomatoes with green chilies and used that,so then I eliminated the Jalapeno,because the tomatoes are already HOT.I also cooked a couple of diced up chicken breasts with some cumin.I put the chicken on top after all else was assembled.There was a little left over after my husband got finished,(he had 2 big helpings)and he said "Don't throw that out I'll have some more later" I really think he too liked it.Ha Thanks for a GREAT recipe.

  3. I made this with a few additions, but I'm sure it's just as delicious made as listed. I added 2 fully cooked chicken breasts and 1/2 teaspoon cumin (for some heat). Instead of fresh tomatoes, I used 2 cans of diced w/ green chiles and omitted the jalapenos listed. I ate this several days for lunch at work heated in the micro and enjoyed it so much topped w/ a small scoop of lite sour cream. I will make this often! Yum!
     
  4. This is fantastic! I didn't realize at first that this is a cold topping over hot rice - in my haste I just assumed it was all hot. I hesitated, but absolutely love it. I mixed the leftovers together and will have a Mexican rice salad for lunch tomorrow. The changes I made were to use a drained can of petite diced tomatoes, 1 cup of frozen corn instead of the canned, and threw some chopped avocado on top. A new staple in our house, especially for summer. Thanks Barb!
     
  5. This is a great recipe that can be easily altered to what you have on hand. The first time I made it I had no black beans, and used garbanzos instead....great. Yesterday I added some diced nectarines and omitted the rice, and served it to guests as a salsa. They all raved. Thanks for the nice recipe.

Tweaks

  1. I used a can of diced tomatoes with green chilies instead of fresh tomatoes and used sweet Vidalia onions instead.
     
  2. I made this last night for dinner, I didn't have any lime juice so I used lemon and it was delicious. We will definitely be eating this again and again. Instead of rice I used quinoa very good.
     
  3. I used fresh salsa instead of diced tomatoes. Also, I added the option of tortillas! Everyone enjoyed it! Including the 4 year old!
     
  4. I tried adding Chipotle Peppers, a can of Mexican Corn and A can of Diced Tomamtoes and Jalepenos but left off the hot sauce. Good flavor but is very hot and spicy! I also used sweet onions and didn't have Cilantro.
     
  5. Amazing flavors and healthy! I did use garlic salt instead of regular, 2 ears of fresh white corn instead of canned, and more fresh ground black pepper than the recipe called for because I love fresh ground black pepper. No hot sauce because my jalapeno was already really spicy, but I would have used hot sauce otherwise. I forgot the olive oil at first and it was great. Added the olive oil and it was still great. Served it over brown rice and red quinoa. I will be eating this a lot this summer! Thanks!!!
