Quick, simple, great flavor! I prepared this in less than 30 min on a busy weeknight. I added some diced onion & jalapeno pepper to the bean mixture. One small thing - the rice mix takes about 20 minutes to cook (I used Mahatma), but I found the bean mixture kind of dry by then - it cooked very quickly, in about 10 minutes, so next time, I won't start on the beans at the same time as the rice. I served with a bit of sour cream, guacamole & salsa and whole-wheat tortilla chips. Thanks!

My interest in cooking focuses on making healthy dishes that are more satisfying than the higher fat and higher sugar versions.
