    Delicious as a main course, would also be very nice as a side dish served with quesadilla and sour cream

    Great as a main course. I love the combination of rice and beans. Very satisfying. Serves about 2 as a main and 4 as a starter.

    Amazing, really simple and suprisingly delicious. Make sure to use the whole lime - really does make all the difference and a nice dollop of creme fraiche to finish it off.

    May try this out, looking for vegetarian recipes for a professional cookery exam... any ideas that work well, and look outstanding with a bit of challenge I'd be grateful for?

    OK ok let's clarify, THIS IS NOT MEXICAN FOOD!!! I am Mexican myself , and believe me this is NOT MEXICAN please please, stop claiming things. Not because the meal has got beans and avocado that means is MEXICAN!!

    Yazbeth get over yourself. I thought this was a really convenient and tasty Mexican 'STYLE' meal, will cook it for my vegan friend next time she visits as she can be tricky to cook for.

    I tried this when on the hunt for new, quick, healthy vegetarian ideas. I was so impressed that so few ingredients could taste so nice!
