This is SO good! Fairly easy and fast to prepare...great way to get the family to eat vegetables! I also add about 1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes. Great on tortillas, even better on homemade tortillas. I think it would also be perfect on lime-cilantro rice.

Very tasty! I added a little cumin after stirring in the beans--great flavor and super quick. Nice!
