green beans
Habichuelas


Explanation:
But in Spain they are called "judías verdes", I guess...

bean
A noun1 (generally) frijol m; alubia f (Spain)
(broad, haricot) haba f
(green) habichuela f; judía f verde (Spain); ejote m (Mexico); poroto m verde (Chile)
(coffee) grano m

It all depends on the target audience. I know in Puerto Rico, if I\'m not mistaken, they call red kidney beans \"habichuelas\", and I call them \"porotos\" or \"frijoles\".

agree  pcarfan: In Puerto Rico all beans are called habichuelas. However, should you ask for frijoles everyone will know what you want, they will simply smile and "correct you" by telling you they are habichuelas :)
