SO HOW'D IT GO?
Mmmm this was so good. I just ate this. I've needed to up my caloric intake by 500-1000 calories and the mixture of beans and rice is always good. I wanted something a bit different and this fit the bill. I made a few modifications though.
I added nutritional yeast, a little bit of Italian seasoning and instead of crushed red pepper I used some mild taco sauce and an enthusiastic couple of drops of extra spicy canyee pepper sauce.
I put broccoli sprouts and water cress on top. Man was it good.
I made this last night only I used primavera pasta sauce and I added some lime juice. My simple go-to meal at the moment.
