Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Gallo Pinto

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion, green bell pepper, and minced garlic. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.

    Add Beans and Rice

    Stir in the black beans and cooked rice. Season with salt and black pepper. Mix well and cook for another 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Salad

    In a separate bowl, combine shredded cabbage, chopped tomatoes, and sliced heart of palm. Drizzle with lime juice, and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  4. 4

    Serve

    On a plate, serve a generous portion of Gallo Pinto alongside sliced avocado and the cabbage salad. Add tostones on the side for crunch.
