    This was very good and super easy to make. I used brown rice instead of white and ate it over a bed of spinach with extra lime squeezed over the top. I’ll definitely be making this again. My 2 year old daughter and hubby also enjoyed it. Yum yum.

      This was great! Husband and I really liked it. I didn’t have the vegan broth so I just used chicken broth which I know makes it not vegan but it’s all I had 🙂 then I found vegetable stock in the fridge but it was too late haha! We will definitely add this to the dinner rotation!

    It was very good! I didn’t have the vegan broth so I used some vegetable broth I had. Next time I’m going to wrap it in a tortilla!

    I love the simplicity of this meal. Sometimes I will add some cilantro to the rice. Other times I’ll also go crazy and add some unsweetened coconut!

    This turned out great and was easy to make! The whole family, including 3 and 5 year olds, enjoyed it. I did add a diced onion and a can of rinsed/drained corn to the bean and sweet potato mixture. Toppings we used were sliced bell pepper, avocado, green onion and salsa. I’ll definitely be making this again!

    Had to comment. This is such a nice recipe. I used brown basmati, added half a hospital cabbage for extra veg. I’ve re fried a portion every day for my lunch this week.

    I made this for my family last night and everyone loved it! I was anticipating a large amount of leftovers, as there are only 3 people in my family, but we ate all of it. I added diced onion to the bean and sweet potato mixture, and it was delicious. I can’t wait to make this again. It is definitely a new family favorite. Thank you!
