The water made the beans pretty watery. I drained the can before adding the beans to the onion and pepper, still had too much liquid. I might try simmering UNcovered for the last ten minutes next time. The flavors are great and this makes a nice meal with or without using it in tortillas. - 8/6/10

I forgot to put in the cheese and the onions but I did add some yellow and red bell peppers along with the green! This recipe was AWESOME! - 8/29/09

Absolutely delicious. I dont' care for onions & peppers either, so I only used 1 teaspoon of olive oil for my garlic. My canned black beans had salt so I reduced the salt in the recipe by half. Topped with 1 teaspoon of guacamole and 1 tablespoon of nonfat greek yoghert. Yum. Will make again. - 4/25/09

I used this as a filler for tortilla shells with the rice included. Topped with low fat cheese, lettuce and salsa it was very delicious ans satisfying. - 7/7/08
