How to Make Rice and Beans | (Moro de Habichuelas) | (Step-By-Step) | A Simple Tweak

beef

🥗Healthier: chicken

💰Cheaper: pork

Chicken is leaner and often less expensive than beef.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Vegetable oil is typically cheaper and has a neutral flavor.

Place a large pot on the stove over medium heat and add the oil.

Once the oil is hot, add the sofrito and then the onions. Stir continuously to prevent sticking.

Add the canned beans and tomato sauce to the pot.

Add 2 cups of water, salt, and cilantro.

When it comes to a simmer, add the rice and stir occasionally.

Once the rice has absorbed all the water and starts to dry up, bring the heat to the lowest temperature and cover with a lid.

After 15 to 18 minutes, remove the lid and stir the rice from bottom to top, then cover again.

Continue cooking for 10 to 15 more minutes until the rice is soft.
