I'm not sure what went wrong, but my rice turned out mushy. I think I added too much water.

I made this recipe for a potluck and it was a hit! Everyone loved it. I think the secret is in the lime juice and cilantro. They really make the dish.

I'm not a big fan of black beans, so I substituted them with kidney beans. It turned out great! The kidney beans added a nice, hearty flavor to the dish.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could use some more seasoning. I added some garlic, onion, and cumin, and it was much better.
