Description
Gallo pinto translates as “speckled hen,” and this colorful dish from Costa Rica is indeed a feast for the eyes with chorizo, red pepper, beans, rice, and cilantro. Accompanied with fried ripe plantains and corn tortillas, this is a complete meal. Top each portion with a fried egg, if desired, and garnish with a shower of grated Cotija cheese and chopped cilantro.

very good, i was born and raised in Costa Rica, so I'm a good judge for the dish,the only detail would be using salsa lizano,that's the original for gallo pinto.
