Hey there,

I know what you're thinking—dinner needs to be quick, easy, and actually worth the effort, right? That’s where habichuelas negras guisadas—Puerto Rican stewed black beans—comes in. This dish is like comfort in a bowl, with bold flavors that take almost no time to pull together.

Even if you're running low on energy (or patience), I’ve got you covered:

  • Big Flavor, Little Effort: Sofrito, cumin, and bay leaves do all the heavy lifting.
  • Fast & Flexible: Canned beans make it a weeknight lifesaver, but you can make it your own.
  • No Leftovers? No Problem: You can easily double this batch—and yes, it freezes beautifully!
