What a tasty recipe! We are big fans of yellow rice, black beans, and smoked summer sausage and have that as a meal quite often. Tonight, I used your recipe, but tweeked it just a little. Instead of 1 teaspoon of cumin, I used 2 teaspoons of cumin. I also added fried/cut up smoked sausage links (we were out of smoked summer sausage), 1 cup of shredded (block) pepper jack cheese, and one can of diced (drained) tomatoes. It turned out absolutely DELICIOUS! My husband and son also loved it!

It is a good basic dish. I used brown rice instead of yellow rice (it's what I had on hand.) I added some stredded pepperjack cheese to the top when I served it. Can't wait to try it the day after in a burrito!

This was good. I used brown rice instead of package rice and I added a lot more cumin and added chopped tomato as well. Then to my own bowl I added dried chopped red chili pepper and cilantro and my husband added just the chili pepper. We all (including my children)added shredded mozzarella cheese on top. I am sure it would be just as good the way it was written. Would be good served with tortilla chips or as a side with enchiladas. It would be good with ground beef added as well.

I was not impressed. This was BLAND. It tasted like the beans, rice and corn mixed together. It needs more spice or something to give it a more exciting flavor. I agree that it would be good for burritos. Will not make again.

I thought this was quite delicious. It is an easy fast meal or side dish that goes well with an array of food. I made it with the black bean cigars from here and they went perferct. I did add some cilatnro as others recommended, but I think it would be just as good without it. I used Zatarain's yellow rice mix and I think that made all the difference. Thanks tahoe girl for a delcious recipe!

I used this as a base recipe for a burrito. I added chopped shrimp, red onion, pineapple, and jalapeno. Then served it on a large flour tortilla with plain Greek yogurt to substitute for sour cream. It was excellent!
