These were very dry
I followed the directions and re-read the recipe multiple times thinking I must've missed something because they were soo dry and would not mash up. Seems like there should be more water or something?
Pros: Easy
Cons: Dry, wouldn't mash up

Fantastic
This is our new go-to, whether for a side dish, or for tortilla-stuffing for packed lunches. The prep is very simple, and taste is fantastic. When we don't have any broth handy in small quantity, we've used water instead, with no negative impact on flavor.
Pros: Great tasting, easy prep, healthy

Very tasty and satisfying method
Great recipe. Quick and amazingly falvorful. The restrained amount of cumin and jalapeno work together perfectly. over white rice, it's a very satisfying meal with complex flavors.

Very Tasty
This is a great way to serve beans. I use this to replace meat in my meal. I add a little extra vegetable broth, as I like to serve this over brown rice. Very Healthy
Pros: Easy to Prepare
Cons: None

Simple and very good. Only change was to add a little coriander and dash of cayenne instead of the jalepeno.
