Gringo Gallo Pinto Recipe
Gringo Gallo Pinto

A somewhat healthier take on this Costa Rican jack-of-all trades dish. I've substituted brown rice for the traditional white rice.This versatile dish can be matched with eggs, queso blanco, and tortillas for a heartly breakfast. It can also serve as the base for lunches or dinners. In fact, I often eat it alone with a berry smoothie as a post run recover meal because of it's healthy balance of carbs and protein.
