Vallarta is a strange bean. Raw, it is green. Cooked, it looks like Yellow Indian Woman and even tastes a little like it but it's denser, almost fudge-like. I love it but I think it works best with some sauteed greens like spinach or chard. For breakfast, I had them with some scrambled eggs and then topped them with some raw white onion and cubed avocado. I was in a good mood after that. Vallartas hold their shape and won't fall apart but they have a very good pot liquor.
