Huevos Divorciados
Description
Huevos divorciados translates literally to divorced eggs, so named because one fried egg is topped with a red salsa, and the other fried egg is topped with a green salsa. They are separated by sauces, each doing its own thing, yet both showing up together on the same plate. Why choose one salsa when you can have both
