Ingredients

2 tbsp Olive Oil
½ Onion chopped
½ Green Pepper chopped
2 tbs Sofrito
1 can Tomato Sauce 8 oz + one can water
1 can Kidney Beans 15 oz, undrained
½ packet Sazón "with coriander and Annatto" variety
½ tsp Adobo use the "with pepper" variety, add more to taste
1 tbsp Truvia
Salt & Pepper to taste

Instructions

Add olive oil to hot pan. Once oil is heated through, add onions, green pepper and sofrito. Sprinkle with salt. Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently.
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.
