Remove from heat and cool until meat can be handled to be removed from bone.
In a saucepan bring 4 cups water to a boil.
Add rice and stir.
Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 20 minutes.
In a food processor combine meat, beans and the liquid in which they cooked.
To the mixture add onion powder, garlic salt, red pepper, salt, black pepper and lard.
Process for 4 seconds.
Beans should be chopped and the liquid thick.
To the food processor add the third can of drained beans.
Process for 1 to 2 seconds, so that most of the beans remain almost whole.
Pour mixture back into the saucepan and cook slowly on low, stirring often, until heated through.
