Panchita’s Gallo Pinto
  1. Heat the rice until warm.

  2. Produce Prep- Peel and chop the onion and garlic.  Remove the core and stem from the bell pepper and dice. Seed and mince the jalapeño (use gloves and don’t touch your face after handling). Rinse and dice the cilantro.

  3. Warm the oil in a large saucepan set over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring often, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 20 seconds.

  4. Pour in the beans and water. Raise the heat to medium-high and bring to a full simmer, stirring gently to keep the beans intact. Gently stir in the rice, salt, and pepper until combined and hot, about 2 minutes. Stir in the cilantro, jalapeño, and bell pepper before serving. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
