Colombian Breakfast

This Colombian breakfast has everything you need. A delicious combination of two Colombian breakfast classics, the Recalentado and the Perico eggs. Recalentado is the reheating of leftover rice and beans from the previous day’s meal, which is a staple meal in many American homes. Huevos Perico are scrambled eggs mixed with onion and tomatoes. Both plates feature the popular arepas topped with cheese, so use our authentic Tropical Arepa Blanca with Quesito Colombiano.

Try this delicious Colombian breakfast on the weekend. If you crave it, add Tropical Colombian Chorizo, avocado, or sweet plantains. Disfruta!
