  • once it starts to sizzle, add the garlic powder and Adobo seasoning.
  • Then add the Sofrito and Sazon con Azafran seasoning, stir.
  • Next add red beans (drain most of liquid, just a little bit is needed to pull the sauce together).
  • Mix and serve.
  • (in Puerto Rico, it is traditional to serve rice and beans with almost every meal, but mainly with pork chops (cooked with a little sofrito and adobo seasoning) on the side).
  • Enjoy (a wonderful recipe straight from the island).

This recipe was a disaster! The rice and beans were mushy and the flavor was terrible. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The rice and beans were a little bland for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if I had added some more spices.
