- .RZ "CUBAN (PUERTO RICAN) BEANS" "Beans like they cook in many Caribbean countries"

- but it will always be Puerto Rican beans to me.

- Any dried beans can be used, but kidney beans and navy beans are the best.
- Chick peas aren't bad either.
- You can use a ham bone for flavoring instead of the olive oil if you
- don't mind using ham.
