Arroz y habichuelas is a simple and traditional Puerto Rican dish. It consists of rice and beans flavored with bacon or ham, sofrito, tomato purée, spices, and (optionally) olives. In Puerto Rico, it is typically served as a side dish, but it can also be served on its own.

Throughout Central and South America, there are numerous variations and twists on this simple side dish, beloved for its protein content which comes from the beans.
