I adapted this from "500 Fat Free Recipes". I make this a lot when I'm hungry and have no idea what to fix. I cook the rice while making the beans and then throw it all together.

Yum!! I was not sure how I would like this, but the flavors blended together wonderfully! I made this for myself for a lunch. I think the beans were better by themselves instead of on the rice, but I think I messed up the rice so take that for what it is worth. My 19-yo daughter ate my leftovers later that day and told me they were "delicious!"

    Quick flavorful dish that I served as a side dish with enchiladas. Nice change from the usual refried beans and Mexican rice. The leftovers were great the next day for lunch.

    Very nice Saturday night supper! I did make one change, I added a sprinkle of red pepper flakes, about a quarter teaspoon, it added a nice zing. The recipe was quick and very easy to put together; we will definately make it again, thanks for sharing.

    Talk about quick! It took me longer to select this recipe than to actually prepare it. I eat black beans frequently and until now never thought to add tomatoes. They add a nice flavor and bit of acidity to the dish. I added 1/2 teasppon of cumin to the beans because...well because I love cumin. Also, I used a red pepper because that's what I had on hand. This is a great low-effort high flavor dish. Thanks ladypit!
