Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup of chicken stock offering a savory and flavorful base that adds depth and richness to the dish.
  • Salt to taste allowing you to season the dish according to your preference and bring out the flavors of the other ingredients.
  • 3/8 teaspoon of ground cumin imparting a warm and earthy flavor that is synonymous with Mexican cooking.
  • 1/2 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil providing a smooth and fruity essence that adds a subtle richness to the dish.
