    I cut the oil in half and left out the cinnamon. It is amazingly delicious!!!!!!

    This versatile recipe can be used as a tasty addition to so many dishes; sandwiches, veggies, topped on rice. Yum! I used one tablespoon of Bragg's Organic Sprinkle in place of the required spices because this is what I had on hand.

    I had my doubts about this one, as I am NOT a fan of black beans, kidney beans etc, but I made this increased the spices a little and it was amazing. My boyfriend who doesn't touch vegetables finished it off so I had to make more! The lime is amazing, and the garlic and onions aren't overpowering at all- just perfect.
