This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I had to add some extra spices to make it more flavorful.

This recipe is a staple in my household! The combination of black beans, rice, and spices creates a flavorful and satisfying dish that everyone loves. I often add in some chopped bell peppers and corn for extra flavor and texture.
