This is a good dish that doesn't need many enhancements. The black bean and tomato mixture was spicy, but the taste was calmed down by the polenta. My only "complaint" is that the polenta needs more taste to it - next time I make this I may add cumin, chili powder, and/or cayenne pepper to the mix.
The method of cooking the polenta results in a thick mixture that holds up well to the black bean/tomato mixture. Just be sure to keep stirring it or the outside of the pot will get a bit crusty. For the bean and tomato mixture, I used diced tomatoes with green chiles to add a bit more zip. I also used taco cheese because that's what we had in the refrigerator.
Overall, a tasty dish that presents well. Also, a good source of carbs and protein - and that means a winner in my book!
