Beans (Habichuelas)
1/4 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup chopped green pepper
1-2 Tbsp. olive oil
2 (16 oz) cans GoyaŽ pink beans
2 heaping tablespoons of tomato paste
4 packets GoyaŽ sazon con azafran
2 heaping tablespoons of GoyaŽ sofrito, optional garlic powder, to taste
GoyaŽ Adobo con pimienta, to taste
hot pepper sauce, to taste
Saute the onion and green pepper in olive oil in a sauce pan until just tender.
Reduce the heat to medium-low.
Add the entire contents of the cans of beans into the pan.
Add tomato paste and stir until well-blended.
Add the packets of Sazon and stir.
Add the sofrito and then add garlic powder, adobo and hot sauce.
Once you've got the flavor you want, cover the pot and allow the beans to simmer to let the flavors mingle and blossom.
