Puerto Rican Beans and Rice

Authentic Recipe, goes great with chicken or pork chops. Also can be used as a main dish - top with lettuce, tomato and avocado. When I serve it as a main dish, I always double the recipe and serve over Arroz Con Gandules in place of the white rice. Credit for this recipe goes to my good friend Michelle.
