Mexican-born Chef Luis Valenzuela is ready to share the secrets of his home country's cuisine, one dish at a time. First, Luis whips up a classic side dish that is served with every Mexican meal: beans. He starts off by transforming pinto beans into refried goodness. But you can't just have beans for breakfast. To complete the dish, Luis heats up a soft corn tortilla before topping it with the delicious refried beans and a delicate quail egg. Next up, Luis shows us a spicy breakfast dish: huevos rancheros.
