Method

Preparation Instructions

Cook the Rice and Beans

Rinse the black beans and cook them in boiling water until tender, about 1 hour. Prepare rice according to package instructions.

Prepare the Skirt Steak

Season the skirt steak with salt and pepper. Grill or pan-sear over medium-high heat for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Let it rest before slicing.

Cook the Chorizo

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chorizo until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat.

Fry the Chicharrón

In a separate pan, fry the chicharrón until crispy. Drain on paper towels.

Prepare the Sweet Plantains

Slice the sweet plantains diagonally. Fry in oil over medium heat until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes.

Cook the Eggs

Fry the eggs sunny-side up or to your preference.

Arrange the Plate

On a large serving plate, arrange the sliced skirt steak, chorizo, chicharrón, corn cake, sweet plantain, rice, beans, and fried eggs. Garnish with sliced avocado.
