I made this over the weekend and it was really good. I didn't have fresh cilantro but I still thought it was very tasty. I added a pack of Goya Sazon to it, but I do that to all of the black bean dishes. I also added a little dried parsley. Other than that, I followed the recipe. Thank you. I will be making this again.
