How to Make Bandeja Paisa

  • Prepare the beans, hogao and powdered beef one day ahead and keep in the refrigerator.
  • When you are going to serve the bandeja paisa, heat the beans and powdered beef and hogao. Make the pork rinds.
  • Cook the white rice and plantains.
  • Fry the eggs and chorizos.
  • To serve, place the rice in a tray or platter and place the rest of the ingredients as you like. I prefer the beans in a separate bowl, but you can ladle the beans next to the rice if you like.
  • Bring the hogao in a serving dish to the table, so people can place it on top of the beans if they like.
