Bandeja paisa is a traditional Colombian dish consisting of a large plate filled with beans, rice, fried eggs, fried plantains, chicharron (fried pork rind), corn tortillas, and meat or sausage. The rice and fried egg are placed in the center of the plate, with the remaining ingredients arranged around it. The dish is incredibly filling, so be sure to be very hungry before you begin. The word bandeja means "tray" or "large plate" in Spanish, and paisa is the name of a people living in the northwestern regions of Colombia.
