Alpine Aire Santa Fe Black Beans and Rice Reviews:
Positive Reviews:
This pairs well with one of my favorite camping tricks. Start off by buying/making a burrito, wrapping it in tinfoil, and freezing it the night before you plan to camp. By the time you get to the camp site it is defrosted and ready to throw in the fire. Then set up the Jet Boil (or other way to boil water) for the Mountain Houses and BAM, you have your first nights camping meal!
This was pretty decent for dehydrated food. I added a bit more water than the recipe called for so the rice and beans would stick to my tortilla. The portions sized was great. Makes a filling meal for one or two light lunches/side dishes.
This was by far the best meal I had with me on a 3 day trip. I'll bring more than one next time. I recommend adding 1/2 cup more water than the directions call for.
Really enjoyed this meal. We brought an avocado along to slice up on top of it. Also, let it sit a couple minutes longer like someone else suggested and everything was cooked perfectly.
This was my favorite from my last trip. Lots of spices, low sodium (I did add more salt). Thought the flavor was perfect, and it filled me up. 2 servings for myself.
The Sante Fe Black Beans and Rice is damn tasty. Alpine Aire makes really tasty backpacker meals. Highly recommend this one.
This was tolerable, I really despise dehydrated food, but I could eat this without being too disgusted.
Negative Reviews:
A lot more rice than beans
The quantity is OK for two people.
When preparing it, it should be left to stand for more than the recommended ten minutes, perhaps 12-14 minutes.
It was spicy. The spices did not appeal to me, although they might to someone else. I gave a lot of it to my dog; he liked it.
Neutral Reviews:
Good source of carbohydrates & protein. To me, this meal along with all freeze dried meals need to be spiced up a bit. Allow to rehydrate two to three minutes longer unless you like crunchy beans. Eat as a side dish with another friend or two. Large portions.
Pack in some tortillas and you have yourself back country burritos! Great size for 2 people.
