If you add rice to those beans you get a complete protein--boring after a few days, but complete. 

FWIW,

Not being in the health profession, I am not sure what a complete protein contains.   From my reading it seems that the essential amino acids are the important items. 

Can you supply a reference so i might learn about this?

Here is a link that contains a chart of the important amino acids and the best vegetable sources for them.  They did not include rice and the only beans on the list are kidney beans but they are good for most of the amino acids.

There are 7 or 9 essential amino acids we need as human units.

What rice is low on, the beans make up for and vica versa = complete protein...

One of the simplest, cheapest, and vegan-est meals in existence is also one of the best sources of protein around. Most beans are low in methionine and high in lysine, while rice is low in lysine and high in methionine. Put ‘em together, and whaddaya got? Protein content on par with that of meat. Subbing lentils or chickpeas for beans produces the same effect. These meals are a great way to load up on protein and carbohydrates after an intense workout.

Thanks, Timothy.  That is the information I needed to see.

Good thing I like black beans and rice. Better stock up on salsa.

The Cubans called that dish moros y Cristianos or moors and Christians, meaning blacks and whites.  That's very un-PC these days. 

You can up the calorie count and improve the flavor by adding some olive oil to the mix.  I cook my black beans with cumin, garlic and a little oregano.  Chopped onions are served at table for those who don't want to kiss anyone after dinner.

And a hint for preppers, both garlic and onions are easy to grow and improve the heck out of most veggies and meat dishes.

Make sure you're well stocked with toilet paper!

That's much less of a problem up here, we have tree's instead of cactus.

Ouch! Of course it wouldn't be the first time that has happened.
