This was super good! My husband hasn't had a meatless dinner in....probably ever. He loved these! I had to tone down the spice because we don't handle spicy food well. Really easy and really, really tasty.

Super yummy! Ours turned out really spicy, our jalapeno was extra hot. I used small read beans. Super easy and healthy! Good job coming up with this keeper recipe. Thanks for sharing.

This was really yummy and simple. It made for a really fast dinner on a really busy weeknight! I made the rice a few days before when I had time and stored it in the fridge. I didn't use the jalapenos but did sprinkle a bit of chili powder in instead to keep the heat down. Also, I added red bell peppers to the vegetables.

Very good taco's, didnt miss meat at all! Instead of black beans I used pinto beans and only 1/2 of a jalapeno pepper. Not only vegetarians would enjoy these tacos. We topped with a bit of sour cream and salsa, served with Jenniferk2's Recipe #211302. Will be making these again!
