I think I’m finally onto something with the Cuban style black beans. This turned out really good. And it was even better topped with some cheddar cheese and avocado. I used white rice because I had a bunch given to me along with a rice cooker. Boy, are rice cookers easy.

I’m still going to play with the spices and might add a bit of chili powder or chopped jalapenos next time to give it a little kick. My kids loved it and my daughter was able to make a burrito with the beans. Her favorite meal.

This is adapted from this Betty Crocker recipe.
