Hi Laura, They sound yummy but brown my pouch doesn't take to well to brown or white rice. Great Recipie tho and thank you for shareing!

I am with Julio and Carla because my pouch won t take brown or white rice and any things make white flour stuffs made me sick . Thank you for sharing! Kathy K

Hmm..actually it sounds really good to me. But, I am in the same boat as Julio. I can tolerate brown rice a little better than white but not very well. Maybe we can adjust the recipe and use more beans and cut down on the rice!! Will give it a shot. Thanks! Carla
