Directions
Easy, savory and fully plant-based Puerto Rican rice and beans.
Before moving to Miami, I wasn’t too familiar with latin food.
I used to think that developing these deep flavors was out of reach but turns out it’s all about having the right spices in your pantry!
Rice and beans are a staple in latin cuisine and also my favorite part of any dish.
Also, this recipe is accidentally vegan!
I’ve partnered with Loisa to create this recipe. A great Puerto Rican rice and beans recipe is all about the spices.
I highly recommend using the Loisa’s Sazón and Adobo seasonings as they are USDA certified organic, made with only real ingredients, for real color and great flavor (unlike some other brands who use artificial ingredients instead)!
