Gallo pinto

Ingredients

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

Instructions

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.
Mix in the beans, stir and reduce heat to medium, add the Lizano sauce, stir and cook for 5 more minutes.
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.
I prefer it not too dry, so I cook it for about 5 to 7 min.
