It’s hard to believe, but it’s almost Thanksgiving and the preparations for this holiday has already started in my house. As every year, our family gets together and we celebrate potluck style-you know, everyone bring a dish to be shared. This year I’m adding a twist to a “must have” dish during a traditional Latino get-together: The famous moro de habichuelas negras (rice with black beans)

moro-de-habichuelas

Moro is a famous Caribbean rice dish. It consists of rice cooked together with red or black beans, vegetables and spices. Moro is the perfect dish for the holidays gatherings; it is one of many side dishes that everyone will surely enjoy.

Making moro de habichuelas negras is rather simple, but for this recipe I’m adding a twist-La Morena® Chipotle Peppers in Adobo sauce for a nice kick! Of course I’m preparing my moro with the usual ingredients such as, onion, garlic, Knorr® Chicken Flavor Granulated Bouillon etc. But adding La Morena® chipotle in adobo sauce to my rice will give it a nice balance of flavor and spiciness.

By the way, enter this sweepstakes for more La Morena® and Knorr® products!

What I like about making traditional Latino recipes is that I can find most of the ingredients at my local Walmart. Walmart has a whole aisle of just good quality Hispanic ingredients that we can trust such as Knorr® and La Morena® Products.

Taste the rice, it should be firm but tender to the bite.
