SWEET CHILEAN LIME LACED BLACK BEANS & RICE - CROCK POT
While in search of a vegetarian black bean and rice recipe I happen upon several appealing recipes that included ingredients I found inticing and many that did that not. That being said, I took a little here and there from fellow recipezaar chefs, added a dash of a my own from time to time and created...FLAVA!! This dish is quite versatile. It's sweet, spicy and tart all in one. It's lovely by itself, topped w/pepperjack cheese, tucked into a burrito or thrown in to a crockpot I suppose. Enjoy my friends!
