For an even richer flavor, consider adding a bay leaf to the bean mixture while it simmers. Remember to remove it before serving. If you prefer a spicier dish, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the bean mixture. To make this dish vegetarian, ensure your adobo seasoning is vegetarian-friendly. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave. For best results, use a good quality long-grain white rice. Basmati or Jasmine rice can also be used, but may require slightly different cooking times.

Oct 31, 2024I didn't have adobo seasoning, so I used a mixture of garlic powder, onion powder, and cumin. It turned out great!
