Instructions
Heat olive oil in a medium skillet and add the sofrito, saute 3 to 4 minutes, stirring. If the sofrito is frozen, cover on low until it melts, then saute.
Add the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil, cover and simmer 15 minutes, until the flavors meld and thicken. Uncover and simmer 5 minutes over medium heat, stirring.
If you want thicker beans, uncover and simmer longer. For soupier beans, add more water.
Taste for salt before serving and adjust as needed.
Serve over white rice, if desired.

Notes
I always have sofrito in my freezer especially to whip up beans, I make a big batch and freeze it in ice cube trays. It lasts me for months! If you don't have, you can certainly make this on a smaller scale, or you can buy in jarred.
