This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but it was still very good. I would recommend using less chili powder next time.

This coconut rice was a hit with my family! I made some adjustments based on what I had on hand. Instead of red bell pepper I used a green bell pepper. I also added a can of black beans. I will definitely be making this again!
