The ingenious trick in this next recipe is that the whole thing is made in one pan - without the unnecessary mess and extra dishwashing. Even the onions are fried together with the rest of the ingredients in the same pan. Besides the ease of preparation, this dish is healthy, nourishing, special, and combines ingredients usually found in Mexican cuisine - corn, beans, avocados, and wonderful spices.
