  1. Typically one expects a whole different seasoning palette with rice and beans, but this version was really different and good! That being said, DH liked it but didn't notice that there were different flavors! LOL Thanks!

  2. Very easy to make and very tasty, I wasnt shy with the spices, beautiful yellow rice with very good flavour. The black beans were an addition I wouldnt have thought of but in fact really complemented the rice. Good recipe, and in fact I will make the rice often but not always including the beans, Im a great rice lover and very much enjoyed the flavours here. Thanks Bea!!!
