Simple which is nice, but quite bland.

This wasn't a bad recipe and extremely easy. and Easily customizable! Since a lot of people were saying that it needed a little "more" I bought a couple of Serrano peppers and the diced tomatoes I bought were seasoned. I cut up two of the peppers (they were small) Some Onion and olive oil and let that cook down. Added garlic powder and a bit of cumin then the beans and tomatoes. I cooked the rice separately and it was great. Since the peppers made it spicy I mixed in some leftover ground beef made for tacos and sour cream and it was an awesome main dish. This is an awesome base and I will most definitely be making a customized version again!

I had dry black beans and regular brown rice at home instead of the instant, prepared them like usual and made the dish accordingly. Even doing it that way, it was a simple and tasty dish. I used fresh oregano from my garden, and added fresh parsley from my garden as well on top for a good twist.

This is a great recipe for a night when you have little time to prepare dinner. Sprinkle a little cheese on top and you have a filling and delicious alternative to fast food.

i use brown rice instead and cooked it separately. i add a quarter stick of margarine to the water of the rice. i used diced tomatoes instead of stewed. i mix it all together and serve it in whole wheat wraps and put sliced tomatoes in the wrap. also worked great with a hot sauce on it

My family loved this recipe! I used basmati rice (didn't have any instant rice), no salt added black beans, and no salt added stewed tomatoes; it turned out great! I plan to use brown rice next time for even more nutrition.

Really delicious and simple. I use regular rice and make the beans with fresh garlic and add hot pepper flakes. I finish it with hot sauce (but I like my spice pretty high) and that really brings out the flavors. I make this once a week, my vegetarian husband and I love it!

after following the recipe to the letter, it's not bad. I will make this again but I will probably rinse the beans and use diced tomatoes instead of the stewed ones.
