For a heartier dish, add 1/2 can of drained and rinsed black or kidney beans when you add the rice. Feel free to adjust the amount of red pepper flakes and cayenne pepper to your desired level of spiciness. Long-grain rice works best in this recipe, as it tends to hold its shape and not become mushy. Garnish with chopped cilantro and a squeeze of lime for added freshness.
