This hearty rice and bean dish is the perfect answer for a meatless main-dish choice and doubles perfectly.

Great recipe. We added some marinated steak from a local Mexican food store that we grilled. We also added pico de gallo salsa and Mexican 4 cheese.

I am giving this 5 stars because it is so quick,easy and has fantastic flavor especially with the toppings. I served this as a side for Southwestern Grilled Chicken and Avocado Melts from Sunset 5/2010 for a fabulous dinner.
