Vigo Authentic Black Beans & Rice, Low Fat, 8oz (Black Beans & Rice, Pack of 12)

These are my favorite! They are really hard to find at the grocery stores now so this was an easy, no hassle way to get multiple packs. If you've never tried the Cuban style, you need to try them. A bag of this with a little cumin is a fantastic meal.

It was easy to prepare & delicious!

If you like beans and rice then you will love Vigo Authentic black beans and rice! It’s delicious! Amazon always finds what your looking for!

Once salted and peppered, this is great. Without that, it's bland -- the flavors are there, but they don't pop like they should. One of my favorite foods when I lived in Miami; now, up here in the frozen north, I can have it again. Kudos to the makers! Such a great side dish. One other tip -- stir it a lot, don't worry about removing the pot lid to do it. Otherwise some will cook onto the bottom of the pot.

I have a rare swallowing condition and I need to blend all of my food. It is a lot of work. I have to cook the food, blend it and assemble a pureed meal. Many times when food is blended, it loses flavor and the seasoning put into the dish. This product maintains the flavor through cooking and blending and provides me two components of a meal with protein, grains, and I just add pureed vegetables to it. I really enjoy the flavor. It has a very nice flavor. I recommend this to people who want to save time on food prep.

We used to buy these at the supermarket but I guess Vigo decided not to supply stores anymore. I haven’t seen them on shelves for years so I was thrilled to see that Amazon carried them and at a really good price. They are delicious and a perfect go-to when you don’t want to spend a bunch of time cooking dinner.

best packaged beans and rice around. Quick to make and very favorful

Perfect seasoning blend! Great side dish for pretty much anything

I really like these rice kits. Similar to the Mexican Rice version, it's quick and easy to make. I will normally roast some seasoned pork and then shred it to layer over the rice when I serve it. That makes for a quick and really delicious meal that can easily satisfy four to six people. Super simple and a great time saver. I think it could also work well with cubes of ham as well. The seasoning in the rice is flavourful, but not strong, so whatever protein you add to the disk to go with it shouldn't be too strong in taste otherwise it would over-ride the flavour of the rice mixture.

Delicious!
