The story behind
I always tell my friends that this dish is the best way to handle indecision. Can't choose between red or green sauce? Get both! It’s a classic Mexican breakfast that turns a simple meal into a colorful experience. I remember eating these at a busy market stall where the smell of sizzling tortillas filled the air. They are perfect for a late 'almuerzo' or a weekend brunch. I highly recommend pairing them with a hot Mexican hot chocolate or a cold hibiscus tea (agua de Jamaica). The contrast between the spicy salsas and the creamy beans in the middle is just unbeatable.
