Habichuelas Guisadas (Stewed Beans)

Habichuelas Guisadas are always great with white rice. I like my beans sauce to be nice and thick.  I don't care for watery, soupy like beans.  Adding pieces of potatoes or pumpkin gives the  beans great flavor too.

You can substitute the Kidney beans for any other type of bean, like red beans, black beans, garbanzo, even peas.

Ingredients

1-15.5 ounce can of  kidney beans

1 1/2 cup of water

1 tbsp of oil

4 ounces of tomato sauce

2 tbsp of sofrito sauce

1 packet sazon

1 packet chicken Bouillon

black pepper

1/8 tsp of cumin-optional

1 small potato diced

salt to taste 

Heat oil in a saucepan over low heat. Add tomato sauce, sofrito, sazon, chicken bouillon, black pepper, cumin and potatoes.  Cook, stirring for about 3 minutes. Stir in beans, water, and salt. Increase heat to medium, and cook for 15 minutes, or until sauce has thickened.  Enjoy with a side of white rice and a protein.
