Gallo pinto is lazy man’s food.

1. Chop up onions and peppers (optionally celery), add to giant frying pan and cook slightly with some oil
2. Dump in a metric buttload of rice. Day old rice is better than fresh. Fry it up a bit
3. Add a can of black beans, juice included. Mix it all together
4. Season with salt, garlic, Goya Adobo, and a fuckton of cumin. Add other spices to taste.
5. Right before serving, add a fuck ton of cilantro and mix (no substitutions!). This shit shrinks like spinach.
6. Serve with some sort of side - fried egg, sweet plantains, chorizo, chachirron, cheese (queso fresco or fried)
