My families they all like this healthy and light reipe, especially these days, people do care about their diet.

I originally learned this recipe that I learned from my good friend of mine from San Juan. She taught me to make beans and rice like the natives do it. Of course over the years I’ve adapted it to make it my own. The biggest benefit of this recipe is that it is high protein and high fiber. Using brown rice instead of white rice decreases the glycemic index slightly as well. I hope you enjoy!
