Yellow rice and chickpeas

2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 onion chopped
1 small green bell pepper chopped
2 cloves garlic minced
1 packet sazon
1 tbsp adobo
1 tsp oregano
6 spanish olive
2 tbsp tomato sauce
2 cups long grain rice
1 can chick peas
4 cups water

Saute the onion and pepper in olive oil until onions are tender then add garlic. After about 5 minutes add the oregano, tomato sauce, sazon, adobo and saute until it becomes like a paste. Then add the chick peas and 4 cups of water. Bring to a boil then add the rice. Stir once and boil until almost all the moisture is evaporated(try not to stir more then 2 or 3 times during this process to avoid mushy rice). Once water is evaporated put the flame on low and simmer covered for about 25 minutes. Fluff rice with a fork and let sit for a few minutes to absorb any remaining moisture.
