Black and Red Fiesta Beans and Rice

This recipe really made a lot of food. So we ate it twice and also put it in tacos and other Mexican dishes. This was a cheap, easy and fulfilling dish that can be made from items in your pantry. This was a wonderful recipe, and that I will make over and over again for my family. This recipe was adapted from Food TV. This recipe was also very good topped with melted cheese.
