Bandeja Paisa

Hearty dish of minced or grilled steak, chorizo, fried pork belly (chicharron), red beans, rice, arepa, fried plantain, and a fried egg.

Bandeja paisa, (Spanish for "Paisa Platter") also known as bandeja de arriero, bandeja montañera, or bandeja antioqueña, is a typical fusion cuisine Colombian dish. It is very popular, especially in the Paisa Region departments (Antioquia, the Colombian Coffee-Growers Axis, (Caldas Department, Quindío, Risaralda) and part of Valle del Cauca.

The main characteristic of this dish is the oversized amount of food and the wide variety of ingredients, which prevent this dish from being served on a single regular plate, so it must be served in a platter or a tray
