Beans and rice - how would you spice it up?
Beans and rice - how would you spice it up?
Beans and rice is known for being a cheap meal, supplying all of the essential amino acids.
But how would you spice it up, literally and figuratively? Would love to hear your thoughts.

Taco seasoning is my intuition (has cumin, paprika, chilli powder, onion powder, etc.) and/or salsas, if you have the money for it you can make that into burritos and other dishes with lettuce, tomato, sour cream/yogurt, etc..
Along those lines, I think this Jamaican Mackeral & Rice recipe, which uses an all purpose seasoning (AllSpice?), would go well with just switching the beans in for the mackerel.
You could substitute or skip any of the ingredients you don't have handy. I think I used some diced tomatoes instead of using up all my tomato sauce, a little cinammon and nutmeg for the pimento berries, and instead of the scotch bonnet, I just used some hot sauce.
Simple, tasty, fast & pretty darn cheap too!
