This was a quick, healthy meal! I couldn't find a 'yellow rice mix' as stated, only one with saffron seasoning and I didn't think that would work well. So, I used brown rice. I also had some red pepper that I added to the mix which added more color and flavor. I rinsed and drained the beans too. Update to 5 stars: This dish's flavore was even more fabulous the next day! My son asked to keep the leftovers for just HIM! MERP'd for my adopted chef in Spring PAC '10.
