Puerto Rican Rice and Beans (Pink Beans) image

Again, another recipe from my boyfriend. The Goya brand products in this recipe can usually be found in the international section or Mexican section of your grocery store. Although I use Pink Beans for this recipe, please feel free to substitute Goya Kidney Beans or Pinto Beans.

2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup ham, chopped into small cubes
2 tablespoons goya sofrito sauce
2 tablespoons goya recaito
1 teaspoon minced garlic or 2 garlic cloves, minced

1 (2 g) envelope goya sazon goya, con culantro y achiote
1/4 teaspoon oregano
