Rice and Beans

Cook rice like usual...

For the beans youll need

-Garlic cloves, diced finely
-1/2 Onion, diced finely
-Some Bacon, preferably the thick unsliced kind, Diced into small cubes (obviously, you wont use the whole slab, you want about a handfull of smallish diced bacon bits)
-Cilantro, about a handfull, chopped up finely
-1 packet of Goya Seasoning "con azafran"
-1 can of black or kidney beans
-Some Jalapenos or other hot peppers, diced finely
-Olive Oil


Directions: Heat up _a little_ olive oil in the pot, throw in the bacon and brown it. Once the bacon is browned throw in the onion, garlic, and jalapenos and cook and sautee for a bit. Once the onion/garlic/jalapenos begins to brown, open the can of beans and add it into the pot WITH the water. Stir in the packet of Goya seasoning, and the cilantro.

Turn the heat to simmer and let it cook for a while, stirring occasionally, the longer the better, just be careful not to burn the beans...
