Cook’s Note
Sazón can be found in the Hispanic section of your supermarket; there is also a recipe for Homemade Sazón on this site. I think it adds extra flavor to the beans, but if you can't find it, the beans will still be good.
If you find the consistency too soupy, turn to Sauté and cook the liquid down for a few minutes to your preference.
