A true representation of LADERA! Don’t worry about the levels of oil in this dish as they will only work as a vehicle in cooking and mellowing the beans and the tomatoes. Of course, provided you don’t grasp a loaf of bread and start dipping into the dish.
Anyhow, an everyday dish enjoyed by the whole family that is reminiscent of grandmas cooking.
