Serves 4

Prep time: 5 min.

Total time: 20 min.

2 tbsp. GOYA® Extra Virgin Olive Oil

2 tbsp. GOYA® Sofrito

1 packet GOYA® Sazón without Annatto

½ packet GOYA® Cubitos Chicken Bouillon

1/8 tsp. GOYA® Oregano Leaf

½ can (8 oz.) GOYA® Tomato Sauce

1 can (15.5 oz) GOYA® Pink Beans, drained and rinsed

GOYA® Adobo with Pepper to taste

2 cups cooked CANILLA® Extra Long Grain Rice cooked according to package directions

Heat oil in 4-qt. saucepan over medium-high heat. Add sofrito, sazón, bouillon and oregano. Cook until vegetable mixture becomes soft and fragrant, 1 – 2 minutes. Add ½ cup water, beans and tomato sauce to vegetable mixture. Bring water to a boil; reduce heat to medium low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until flavors come together and bean mixture becomes thick, about 15 minutes. Season beans with adobo.

Divide rice evenly among serving plates. Serve seasoned beans on top or alongside rice.

Save Time and Add Flavor with GOYA Sofrito!

Sofrito — a puree of tomatoes, onions, green peppers, cilantro and garlic — is used as a flavor-packed cooking base in many Latino dishes; like soups, stews and seasoned beans. But making the mixture yourself can be time consuming — so we took the freshest ingredients and prepped them for you. Simply add a heaping spoonful or two of GOYA® Sofrito to your favorite dishes and enjoy the authentic flavors you love, without the work.
