Usually served at breakfast with eggs, it is a hearty traditional dish that is easy to prepare.

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons of oil (canola, vegetable or olive)
• 1 chopped red bell pepper
• 1 chopped small yellow onion
• 2 minced cloves of garlic
• 2 cups of cooked black beans in ¾ cup of cooking liquid
• ¼ cup of Salsa Lizano
• 3 cups of cooked rice, refrigerated or day-old
• ¼ cup of chopped fresh cilantro

Instructions

1. Heat your oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it is shimmering. Saute your chopped bell pepper and onions until they are soft and the onions are translucent (about 6-8 minutes). Add minced garlic and cook for one minute.
2. Add your black beans with the cooking liquid and Salsa Lizano and bring to a shimmer (about 5 minutes). Gently stir in your cooked rice and heat until cooked through and most of the liquid is absorbed for about 3-5 minutes.
3. Stir in your chopped cilantro. Season to taste.
