Rice And Beans is a very popular dish throughout Latin America and very popular in the Caribbeans as well as in communities of Latino and Caribbean people elsewhere.

The dish usually consists of white rice accompanied by brown, red or black, dry beans and seasoned in various ways. Different regions have different preferences. In Brazil, for example, black beans are more popular, while in most other parts of the country these are mostly only used in feijoadas.
