Great recipe. I topped the dish with salsa verde for more flavor.

YUM!!! My husband & I really enjoyed this. Super easy to make too! I used chicken broth instead of vegetable. Will certainly make again!

I really like this - so easy, healthy and tasty. I cut the recipe in half so I wouldn't have a ton of leftovers and it worked out well. I did have to add a little extra water/stock and extra time for my rice to finish cooking. But when it was done it was very good.

I loved everything about this recipe except for the cumin. I will leave it out next time. I did add a can of whole kernal corn. Will definantly make again.

Very simple to make, and full of flavor. Very similar to regional rice dishes we have here (Caribbean coast of Colombia), with a little more zing. Definately will make this again.

Just made this recipe for a low fat, healthy choice for my family. I thought about adding some of the ingredients that others suggested (ie: red peppers, tomatoes) but just decided to make it how it was written subsituting chicken broth instead of vegtable. It was soooo GOOD! The flavor is great and the pepper ads just the right amount of kick to make it interesting! My daughter is taking it to work tonight for dinner with a tortilla and very excited about it!

i made this for a family gathering, and it was hardly touched, although I like the spice that the cayenne brought to the rice

Oh my gosh! This is one of my favorite meals! I only changed a few things - added 3/4 cup each of chopped red and green bell peppers and the spices while sauteeing the onion and garlic. Served in lettuce leafs (kind of like a vegan, gluton-free burrito). It was delicous! Even my meat-loving husband was completely satisfied with this dish! Thanks for the recipe.

This was great! I followed the recipe exactly, but added fresh cilantro at the end. I also kept the cover half way off the rice while cooking because I like my rice dry, not mushy. I am going to double the recipe next time because it really didn't make enough for my 4 dinner guests. We each got one small spoonfull.

Finally!! A rice dish that has some flavour! :) :) I did what others suggested and added the spices to the olive oil. I dissolved some Knorr vegetable broth and threw the whole works into the rice cooker. When it was done, I added the black beans. It was great, easy, and I will be making it again.

This recipe has some really good ideas in it about how to perk up plain old rice and beans. From now on, whenever I make anything like this, I'm going to boil the rice in stock and mix the beans in with the rice. I took the suggestions of a few reviewers and fried up the spices with the onion and garlic, and at the end I added a can of diced tomatoes with garlic and onion with the beans. I also used some black pepper, chili powder, oregano, and a bay leaf. Next morning I wrapped up the leftovers in a tortilla with some cheese, salsa, and scrambled eggs for a yummy breakfast.

Wow!! We loved this rice...although I did change it a bit. I used chicken broth instead of vegetable broth, I added a diced chipotle in adobo and about 1/4 cup of minced fresh parsley; I also added about a half a can of kernal corn to the final product and it was just delicious!!! We will definitely make this again (it goes great with Mexican Chicken Kabobs from this site)

Mmm Mmmm, I added jalapenos at the same time as the stock and served with fresh tomatoes sliced on top. Very good.

This was the perfect thing for us! I am vegetarian and my husband is not-I cooked sausages on the side for him and he ate it all mixed together. I ate mine in corn tortillas with shredded cheese. Both ways were delicious. Even my super picky 3 yr old ate it without picking through it and asked for more (that alone is worth 5 stars!!). Besides being tasty, it was very easy, fast and cheap-a keeper!! I used one can of beans and added the spices in when I added the broth so they could cook into the rice. Perfect and definitely going into the rotation!!

I changed a few things and added some chopped cilantro and some chopped jalapenos to give more flavor and some extra cumin. It turned out great! All the roommates ate and ate and then it was gone. It really worked out for us b/c one of the roomates is vegatarian and she always gets left out when it comes to dinner. Thanks for the recipe!
