Çifrijo

Chifrijo is a unique Costa Rican dish made by layering the following components in a bowl: white rice, beans cooked in spices, chicharrón pork pieces, pico de gallo, and tortilla chips, which can also be served on the side. The name of the dish is a composite of chicharrón and frijo (from frijol, meaning beans). Chifrijo was invented in the 1990s by a San José bar owner named Miguel Ángel Cordero Araya, and the dish is still a staple of bar food in Costa Rica.
