Steps:
- This recipe starts with the frijoles. Put the beans and bay leaves in a saucepan and cover with 6 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Add water when necessary to keep the beans covered by 1 inch, until just tender. This will take about one hour. Season with a pinch of salt to taste. Now it's time to have some fun! Fry the bacon and oil in a 6- to 8-quart pot. Cook over medium-low heat until slightly crispy. Add the onion, pepper, garlic, cumin, oregano and stir for about 10 minutes. Add the rice and stir to coat. Add the beans and their liquid, stir well, and add enough water to cover the beans and rice by about 3/4 inch. Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat then turn down the heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Cover tightly and do not uncover until the water is absorbed and the rice and beans are both cooked throughout about 20 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Once done, garnish with cilantro and drizzle with a little olive oil just before serving.

Steps:
- Begin by checking the beans for any stones. You can do this by hand or place the beans in water and the rocks will sink to the bottom of the bowl.
- Once you've checked the beans for any stones, rinse them and then place them in the instant pot. Cover the beans with 7 cups of water. Add 1/2 green bell pepper, close the lid, and press the "pressure cook" function. Seal the valve and cook for 45 minutes.
- Place the beans and liquid into a pot with high sides. Add the cumin, bay leaf, sofrito, recaito, chicken bouillion powder, vinegar, vino seco, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Discard the green bell pepper or chop it into bite-sized pieces. Cook the beans over high heat and let it come to a rapid boil.
- Once the beans come to a boil, stir in the rice. Check for seasoning, cover with a lid and reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook for 25-30 minutes. After 30 minutes, uncover and stir. Cover again and let it cook until the rice is perfectly fluffy. Finally, check for seasoning and enjoy!
