Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 tablespoons coconut or vegetable oil
  • 3 cloves garlic (diced)
  • 1 chile (diced)
  • 2 cups cooked beans (black or small red)
  • 1/2 cup bean broth
  • 2 cups cooked white rice
  • 2 teaspoons vinegar or escabeche brine
  • Salt to taste
  • Chopped chives or scallions, sour cream or crema fresca, and cilantro (optional -- for garnish)

Method

  • Heat pan to medium hot. Add oil.
  • Add garlic, chile, beans and bean broth.
  • When beans are bubbling hot, add rice and vinegar or escabeche brine.
  • Add salt. (In my opinion, gallo pinto is best when it's fairly salty.)
  • Cook at medium heat until liquid is absorbed.
  • Cook a minute or two longer.
  • Garnish with sour cream, chives or scallions, and cilantro.
