Stir in beans (do not drain), tomato sauce, Sazón, and Adobo. Fill the empty tomato sauce can with water and add it to the pot and stir. Add Truvia and any more salt and pepper to taste.
At this point, taste the beans and see if you want to add additional seasonings. Bring it to a boil and then reduce the temperature to low-medium and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens.
Serve with rice or just scoop some into a bowl.
Notes
Rice is not calculated into recipe nutritional facts. Be sure to stir the onions and peppers well and frequently so they don't burn. We recommend keeping a few of the Puerto Rican ingredients on hand, so you can make it anytime you want.
