Gallo Pinto 2/3 cups of cook black beans (you can use can beans) 1 1/4 cup of cooked rice 2 tbsp chopped onion 2 tbsp chopped pepper 2 tbsp minced cilantro 1/2 tsp salsa lizano 1/2 tsp salt 1/2 tsp cumin 1/4 tsp pepper 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. The best way to eat gallo pinto is with eggs, sweet plantains, cheese or avocado and of course, with a cup of coffee

What rice are you using and how do you prepare it? I’m in Guanacaste so would appreciate a brand/type recommendation. Mine usually turns out somewhat sticky. Still tasty but doesn’t look as nice as yours
