Review Yucatan beans and Lime rice

[Guest guest]

I made up the Yucatan black beans in my crockpot and I LOVE them.

The flavor is just the right mix of hot and spice for me and this will

definitly go into my " keeper " file. I wanted to try the Coconut Lime

rice so decided to make and serve that with my beans....Great combo

taste wise and it looked gorgeous on the plate! I put the rice in the

middle surrounded by the beans with avocado and salsa on top of the

rice..pretttttty! If I was serving the rice alone I think I will use

lite coconut milk as, for me, the rice was a bit too sweet. But with

the black beans, they paired really well.

On a trip to Baja Mexico a native there told me that they use the

Epazote spice alot and that that spice is what makes the flavor

difference between our mexican cooking and theirs. I don't know how

true that is, but I have it on my shelf and it went into the beans and

if it added to the flavor, it was good! Thanks for the recipes!!
