• •1 cup red beans
• •1 cup white rice
• •2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• •2 cloves garlic, minced
• •1/2 pound ground beef
• •2 plantains, peeled and sliced
• •2 corn arepas
• •2 eggs

• •2 slices fresh cheese (queso fresco)
• •1/2 avocado, sliced
• •to taste salt and pepper

Directions

1. 1Cook the red beans in salted water for 45 minutes until tender, then season with garlic and salt.
2. 2Cook the rice in 2 cups of water for 18-20 minutes until fluffy.
3. 3Fry the plantain slices in oil until golden, about 8 minutes, and set aside.
4. 4Brown the ground beef with garlic in a skillet, season with salt and pepper, then set aside.
5. 5Fry the chorizo slices until cooked, about 5 minutes, then remove.
6. 6Fry the arepas until golden on both sides, about 4 minutes.
7. 7Fry the eggs sunny-side up and set aside.
8. 8Arrange all components on a large plate: beans on one side, rice on another, then top with beef, chorizo, fried plantains, arepa, fried egg, cheese, and avocado.

💡 Bandeja paisa is a timing exercise: cook the beans first, then stage the beef, chorizo, plantains, arepas and eggs so the plate arrives hot.
