This recipe was just okay. The beans were a bit too mushy for my taste and the sauce was a bit too spicy. I think I would prefer a different recipe next time.

This recipe was a disaster! The beans were undercooked and the rice was mushy. The sauce was also very bland. I would not recommend this recipe.
