Drain the beans and add fresh water to an inch (2.5-cm) above the top of the beans, salt, and bring to a boil. Cover the pan and reduce heat to very low simmer until beans are soft (~3 hours). Chop cilantro, onion, and sweet pepper very fine.

Add water or chicken broth, bring to a boil, cover and reduce heat to simmer until rice is tender (20-35 minutes). Once the rice and beans are cooked you can refrigerate or freeze them. Keep a significant amount of the "black water" with the beans (½-1 cup 120-240 ml). This is what gives the rice its color and some of its flavour.
