Reader review noted on card: “Fantastic! So yummy and tasty - Easy to make and a big hit with the family. I used the whole package of the taco seasoning and doubled up on the corn, black beans, and salsa. Tonight we are going to eat the left overs on a bed of Tostito Chips. Yummy!” (posted by tiffineygraham). Another review: “This was easy to make and very good to eat. You can’t even taste the brown rice, so the family doesn’t know they are eating healthy rice not white rice. May be a bit to salty for some. I am vegetarian so I made it with extra beans and used my soy chicken strips.” (posted by breno29)
