Gallo Pinto
I grew up on dishes that consisted of beans and rice as staple ingredients, but the beans and rice in Costa Rica hits different. Gallo Pinto consists of beans, rice, onions, spices, and herbs. Another crucial ingredient for Costa Rican vibes is Lizano Salsa. We became very familiar with this dish while visiting Costa Rica and wanted to make it at home. My recipe below is not authentic, but it tastes amazing!
