Their recipe is perfect and that is the one we use.

PUERTO RICAN RICE AND BEANS DEMO/TECHNIQUE
This recipe will probably be the best rice and beans you’ve ever had. The flavors in this dish are complex, but not complicated. The result can’t really be described. You just have to try it! Your taste buds and your soul will thank you😋😋😋😋😋
