Puerto Rican Rice and Beans (Pink Beans) image

Again, another recipe from my boyfriend. The Goya brand products in this recipe can usually be found in the international section or Mexican section of your grocery store. Although I use Pink Beans for this recipe, please feel free to substitute Goya Kidney Beans or Pinto Beans.

This recipe is a great base for other dishes. I've added shredded chicken, ground beef, and even shrimp to it. It's always a hit.

I'm not a fan of spicy food, so I omitted the hot sauce. The dish was still very flavorful.

This dish is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. I pureed some carrots and celery and added them to the rice and beans. My kids loved it!

I'm a vegetarian and I love this recipe. I use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth and it turns out great.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my dish turned out soupy. I think I added too much water.

I love this recipe! It's a great way to use up leftover rice and beans. I also like to add some chopped vegetables, like onions, peppers, and corn.

This dish was okay, but I've had better. The beans were a little too salty for my taste.
