Marx Foods provided me beans for a breakfast-bean contest. Using the beans as my benchmark, I embarked on a mission to create a fusion of savory, spicy, and sweet flavors, which in essence should tantalize my mother’s taste buds. A tad sweet and a lot spicy like my own personality. —Primlani Kitchen
