Rice and Beans

Here is another family favorite recipe that is fast, cheap, and easy. We got the recipe from Todd's brother, Tracy, who learned to cook this on his mission in Puerto Rico.
Rice and Beans:

To each cup of uncooked rice (and 2 cups water), add 1 packet of Sazon Goya and 1 heaping tablespoon of Goya Sofrito. Cook rice as usual.

To each can of pinto beans (undrained), add 1 packet of Sazon Goya and 1 heaping tablespoon of Goya Sofrito. Heat.

Top the rice with the beans (and juice) and shredded cheese. Yum!!

For our big family, we usually fix 3 cans of beans and 3 cups of uncooked rice. Sometimes the seasoning is hard to find. Recently I found both at an Asian market.

I use the Sazon, but have never used sofrito. I'll have to look for it at the store so I can try your recipe. It looks easy, but very flavorful.
