This is exactly like what I had every day when I was in Costa Rica; I've been looking for the recipe for months and this is the best I've come across, very tasty, very nice Thanks for bringing back the memories, I'm going to make this all the time!

I did not use bacon and found this to be extremely bland. I can't imagine that the bacon would add enough flavor to make this worth making again.

Excellent and tastes just like what we've had in Costa Rica. I used Melinda's hot sauce, since that is what is used in Costa Rica.

I use ground coriander - the spice - and it works out great. Sour cream is a MUST as a garnish, and we just use bacon bits (from the jar) as a garnish too. This is an easy-to-make dish!
