Gallo Pinto - Rice and Beans

Step 1 In large bowl, add beans and enough water to cover beans by 3”. Cover bowl and transfer to refrigerator to soak overnight (about 12 hours). Step 2 Drain beans, discarding soaking liquid, and transfer to large, heavy pot. Add garlic cloves and enough water to cover beans by about 2”. Set pot over medium-high heat and bring water to boil. Reduce heat to medium low. Simmer, uncovered, until beans are just tender, about 1 hour, adding hot water in 1 cup measures if beans become dry. Add Adobo and continue to simmer for 10 minutes. Step 3 Remove pot from the heat, drain and cool, reserving cooking liquid. Discard garlic. Step 4 Heat oil in large skillet over medium- high heat. Add onions; cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are translucent, about 5 minutes. Add beans and continue to cook, stirring constantly, about 5 minutes. Step 5 Add cooked rice and ½ cup of cooking liquid to skillet. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until liquid is absorbed and rice and beans are heated through, about 5 minutes more. Serve immediately.
