The Veracruz
The Veracruz is organic roasted chicken dish served with two flavorful sides: salsa macha—a bold Mexican chili oil from Veracruz and Oaxaca—and seasoned ayocote beans, a staple of Mesoamerica for thousands of years. Rich in protein, fiber, and nutrients, this dish celebrates the resilience and rich flavors of indigenous recipes reimagined for today’s table. Served with a side salad jicama slaw.
Ayocote beans are large, hearty beans native to Mexico, known for their rich, nutty flavor and creamy texture, similar to kidney or cannellini beans.
