A perfect pair
I am addicted to this recipe. To me it's the perfect dinner. Rice, which is my all-time favorite staple ingredient, mixed with black beans and cooked in a rich tomato, cumin and chili powder sauce with a touch of heat from the seeded jalapenos. Not only does it taste delicious, but it cooks up fast. Serve this as a main dish with a tasty salad or as a side on taco night.
