Cuban style beans and rice. Not sure how Cuban it was, but we enjoyed it.

Some changes.

Used red pepper, all of it

You can probably use more jalapeño I went with the 1/4, but if you’re okay with it, I’d use the whole one. Left out the oregano bread side my wife doesn’t like it. It was fine. Used canned beans because I gave had great luck starting from dried beans.

It was very good.
