Papas a la Mexicana
Mexican Style Papas It's a classic and much-loved dish from Mexico, served completely 100% plant-based! Made from pieces of potatoes cooked until soft combined with slices of fresh tomatoes, onions, and chilies that represent the colors of the Mexican flag - red, white, and green. Without eggs or animal products, it's simple yet incredibly rich in flavor: a natural savory flavor, a hint of fresh acidity from the tomatoes, and a gentle, mouth-watering spiciness. It's so special because it maintains the authenticity of a warm, filling, and colorful home-cooked recipe!
