black beans

🥗Healthier: pinto beans

💰Cheaper: canned beans

Pinto beans are often less expensive and still nutritious.

queso fresco

🥗Healthier: feta cheese

💰Cheaper: ricotta cheese

Feta provides a similar tangy flavor at a lower cost.

sour cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: plain yogurt

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess.

vegetable oil

Canola oil is often less expensive and has a neutral flavor.

1

Wash 2 pounds of red beans and boil them with 6 cloves of garlic and a piece of onion until softened.

2

Add salt and more water to the beans, as the broth will be used to cook the rice.

3

In a skillet, heat some vegetable oil and sauté diced onion and bell pepper until softened.

4

Add 2 cups of rice to the skillet and a bit of chicken bouillon and salt.

5

Once the rice starts to brown, add 4 cups of the bean broth and leave uncovered until it begins to dry, then cover it.

6

Once the rice has dried, stir and cover again.

7

In another pan, heat enough oil to fry the beans, adding onion to sauté for flavor before removing it.

8

Add part of the beans to the oil and fry for about 10 minutes.

9

Mix in some of the fried rice with the beans and fry together for another 10 minutes.
