  • Black Beans2/3 Cup
  • Rice1 1/4 cup
  • Onion2 tablespoons
  • Pepper2 tablespoons
  • Cilantro2 tablespoons
  • Salsa Lizano1/2 tsp
  • Salt1/2 tsp

Preparation Steps

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.
