  • 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

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.
