This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I was able to tone it down by adding more corn and avocado. The flavors were great, and I loved the creamy texture of the beans. I would definitely make this again, but with less spice.

This is a great recipe for a quick and easy weeknight meal. The beans and rice are cooked in one pot, and the sauce comes together in a snap. The flavors are bold and delicious. I served it with a side of sour cream and guacamole.

I'm not a huge fan of spicy food, but this recipe was surprisingly mild. The sweetness of the corn and the creaminess of the avocado helped to balance out the heat. I would definitely make this again.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra spices and salsa to give it more flavor. The beans and rice were cooked well, but the sauce could have used more depth.
