    I used instant brown rice and I added chili powder and cumin to it. Also when I added the instant rice I added a bag of frozen broccoli. YUM! - 11/20/09

    O.K.
    Extremely bland. I even added extra garlic and extra lime plus lime zest. I'm not sure what could be done to make this taste better. Also, I ended up with a lot more liquid than I expected. I had to use a slotted spoon to get the rice out. Bummed...it sounded great. - 1/19/12
