We call for ready-to-eat brown rice, but if you have leftover brown rice, this is the perfect time to use it. Grill some summer squash, which is at its peak from June through late August, for a fresh side to this Mexican-style dish.Prep: 2 minutes; Cook: 12 minutes

Yuuuumy ^_^ I made this and it taste really good. I don't normally like black beans but because of this recipe it has become one of my favorites. The recipe is easy to make and it taste good. I even toped it off with salsa. I will admit I used regular minute rice. I might try brown rice next time. I don't like brown rice but with this recipe it might taste as good as the beans.

Pretty boring. I had to add a lot of hot sauce to make it interesting.
