1 med to small onion

1 Cuban pepper roasted

salt pepper

sweet vinegar

a far amount of fresh garlic

Lets cook the beans begin by saute your onion, garlic and the roasted pepper. Get them nice and caramelized. Dumped your beans in with all the liquid plus 1/2 can of water. Add you seasoning the pepper salt cumin add the vinegar last. Bring to a boil and let cook on stove till your ready to serve.

Rice your going to use .a small short grain rice just follow the normal cooking direction. The needs to be plain it will detract from the flavor of the beans.

The chicken is going to be grilled until tender and moist. Now watch the chicken the acid in the orange will have broke the chicken down so cooking time might happen a little faster. When finished cut into small chunks.
