HAPPY CINCO DE MAYO FAMILIA! Truly thankful for you all, as we navigate on this path of fusing together culture and food 💕 I was tempted to share a more upscale recipe, but nothing beats the basics… these Refried Pinto Beans are a staple in our house—nothing fancy but so darn yummy!

This Arroz Verde is a true classic in most Mexican homes, but it’s often overshadowed by red Mexican rice. Both are definitely delicious, but it’s time for Arroz Verde to be the star of the show! Toasted rice cooked in a blend of poblano chiles, cilantro, onion, and garlic until soft and tender. Finish off with fresh cilantro and tangy goat or vegan cheese for the perfect pop of flavor. It’s the best side for Mexican dishes, so make sure to give it a try!!
