Costa Rican Gallo Pinto

Costa Rican Gallo Pinto

A traditional Costa Rican breakfast and my favorite breakfast recipe. When you serve it, you can add up the Costa Rican famous Lizano sauce (kind of an English sauce) that brings up the gallo pinto’s flavor.

Cook’s Note:

Spice it up according to taste. You can use cooked red beans instead of black.
