Really tasty- try it! I Used precooked packet rice for ease and black beans (Sainsbury's organic in a tetra pack 60p ish so good price). I reckon the black beans look better in the rice. If u don't have fajita seasoning then Google the recipe and put together in 2 mins - just a few dried herbs and spices. Great with a BBQ....

Very nice. Used kidney beans instead of black eyed beans, and fresh peppers, which worked well. Handy as well as we always have so much fajita seasoning left over!

I didn't really enjoy this. The cajun spicing with the rice was alright, but I don't really like the tangy flavour the peppers in the jar give. Overall, I didn't find it a really moreish dish and wouldn't make again.

This was an easy recipe that made plain rice and veg really interesting. I swapped the black beans for green beans and also added sweetcorn and spring onions. Served it all with spicy pork chops. I thought jalapenos would be a good idea but the rice is hot enough without. Might serve with sour cream as a side next time as well

Very tasty. Used a tin of mixed beans and half a tin of kidney beans rather than the black eyed beans. Went down a storm at our BBQ. Next time I'm going to add some mushrooms and some other veg as I think it would make a fab, super healthy, main meal.
