Cook the rice: In a medium saucepan, combine rinsed rice, water, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until water is absorbed and rice is tender. Fluff with a fork.

Prepare the stewed beans: In a separate pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and bell pepper and sautรฉ until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant. Stir in tomato paste, adobo seasoning, oregano, and bay leaf. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.

Add the drained and rinsed kidney beans (or soaked dried beans) and vegetable broth to the pot. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat, cover, and cook for 20-25 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the beans to soften. If using dried beans, ensure they are fully cooked and tender.

While the beans simmer, prepare the plant-based protein. If using plant-based 'chicken' strips, sautรฉ them in a separate pan with a little oil until browned and heated through according to package directions. If using tofu, pan-fry the cubes until golden brown and slightly crispy.

Assemble the 'Bandera': Ladle a generous portion of cooked rice onto each plate. Spoon a portion of the stewed beans next to the rice. Top the beans with the sautรฉed plant-based protein. Serve with a side salad of greens, cucumber, and avocado, and lime wedges for squeezing.
