Habichuelas guisadas is a bean stew highly popular in Puerto Rico. It all starts with a big batch of pressure-cooked pink or pinto beans. Canned beans are also encouraged for those of us with busy lifestyles. The stew begins with a few heaping spoonful's of sofrito, stir-fried with oil, tomato sauce, and sazón (another key ingredient in Puerto Rican cuisine), then slowly cooked with broth, potatoes, and/or “calabaza” (squash).
