World Cuisine Series (Breakfast Edition) Central Americano

Let your mouth water as we venture to Central America for our World Cuisine series, where we are showcasing breakfasts from all over the world. Central American breakfasts are simple but supremely delicious and perfectly filling, typically including an assortment of eggs, tortillas, rice, beans and a variety of tongue tingling salsas. Many breakfasts take advantage of the country's abundant tropical fruits, like bananas, papaya, mangoes, and avocado in both mouth watering fruit platters and tangy juices. You’ll learn what will very well become your new favorite way to use last night’s rice—gallo pinto. This national dish of Costa Rica, which translates to "spotted rooster" is indeed spotted, and happens to be a brilliant combination of fried rice and black beans, lightly spiced, that might be served with sour cream and fried or scrambled eggs at breakfast time. You’ll be excited. Trust us.
