Integral to Costa Rican and Nicaraguan identities and cultures, name this traditional Central American meal made of rice and beans.

The exact origin of gallo pinto is unknown and still contested, with Costa Rica and Nicaragua both laying claim to it. The dish contains beans, which are rapidly cooked until nearly all of the liquid is absorbed, then mixed with cooked rice and other seasonings.
