I made this tonight and added some extra spices (cumin, garlic and more chili powder) and it was very good. Could even have used more spiciness, but very satisfying.

I've made this twice now, tonight with red kidney beans and Bhutanese red rice. Amazing flavor combination.

Oh man was this good! Even my picky teens liked it. I served it over rice I made in my rice cooker using veggie broth. It was great. I will be making this often. I try to make at least 2 meatless dishes a week. This will be a family favorite I'm sure.

This was very good! I didnt have the Mexican corn so like others I added extra spices and half a can of green chilies. What a great way to get in 3 servings of veggies in one dish! BTW...its only 2 WWpts per serving!! It was also a great side dish for Picante Chicken #62816. Thanks for posting!

Super easy side dish. I didn't have cajun or Mexican-style tomatoes, so I just tossed in a couple cans of regular ol' stewed chopped tomoatoes, a couple cans of rinsed & drained black beans, and a bag of frozen corn. Threw in a bunch of spices (cajun spices, plus her list) and cooked, served over rice as a side to some ribeye steaks. Delicious!!
