Gallo pinto

Ingredients

• 2/3 Cup Black Beans
• 1 1/4 cup Rice
• 2 tablespoons Onion
• 2 tablespoons Pepper
• 2 tablespoons Cilantro
• 1/2 tsp Salsa Lizano
• 1/2 tsp Salt
• 1/2 tsp Cumin
• 1/4 tsp Pepper

Method

1. Heat up a pan over medium high heat, add olive oil and let it get hot. Add onions, peppers, cilantro, garlic, cumin, salt and pepper, cook for 3 to 5 min until onion is translucent.
2. Mix in the beans, stir and reduce heat to medium, add the Lizano sauce, stir and cook for 5 more minutes.
3. Add the rice, stir and cooked for a few more minutes, to incorporate all the flavors in the rice. The time to cook it I will depend of how you like your gallo pinto, some people like it a little wet and some other like it a little toasted or dry.
4. I prefer it not too dry, so I cook it for about 5 to 7 min.
