Ingredients
Servings:
| 4 cup | cooked white rice (cold) |
| 2 cup | cooked black beans with some liquid |
| 1 unit | onion (finely chopped) |
| 1 unit | red bell pepper (finely chopped) |
| 3 tbsp | Salsa Lizano |
| ¼ cup | cilantro |
| 2 tbsp | neutral oil |
Steps
- saute5 minonion and pepper softenedCook onion and bell pepper in oil until soft and aromatic. Use a wide skillet from the start; gallo pinto needs room for moisture to evaporate once the beans and rice arrive.
- simmer3 minbeans hot and liquid seasonedAdd the black beans with a few spoonfuls of their cooking liquid and stir in Salsa Lizano. Let the liquid bubble briefly so its seasoning distributes before the rice absorbs it.
- fry8 minrice evenly mottled, grains separateAdd the cold cooked rice and fold until the beans are evenly distributed, then let portions contact the hot skillet between turns. The finished mixture should be moist enough to stay tender but dry enough that the grains remain separate rather than becoming bean risotto.
- top1 minserve hotFold in cilantro just before serving and taste for additional Salsa Lizano. Serve hot as breakfast or a side, preserving the characteristic speckled rice-and-bean appearance.
