Gallo Pinto Recipe from Costa Rica

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a pan over medium high heat.

Add 1 chopped onion, 1/2 chopped red bell pepper, and 1/2 chopped yellow bell pepper to the pan and sauté for about 5 minutes until the onions are translucent.

Add the drained black beans to the pan and mix with the sautéed vegetables until heated through.

Add 1 cup of cooked rice to the pan and stir to combine with the beans and vegetables.

Add 1 teaspoon of cumin, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 2 tablespoons of Lozano salsa to the mixture and stir well.

Pour in about half of the reserved black bean juice, mixing it in, and add more if needed until the mixture is not dry but not soupy.
