Start by boiling 3 beets in enough water for about 30 minutes until tender.

In a separate pot, boil 12 eggs for about 15-20 minutes until fully cooked.

Prepare the cabbage by chopping it finely for curtido, using a sharp knife.

Slice the cabbage without rinsing it in hot water, as it will shrink after cutting.

Chop 5 guajillo peppers into small pieces, removing the seeds.

Chop 1 small onion and set aside.

Peel and shred 2 carrots, depending on how many you want to use.

Peel cucumbers, leaving some skin for decoration, and slice them.

Once the beets are tender, remove them from the pot and let them cool before slicing.

Prepare the salsa criolla by chopping 5 tomatoes and 1 small onion, then frying them in olive or avocado oil.

Add the chopped guajillo peppers to the frying pan with the tomatoes and onion.

Add 2 cloves of garlic to the mixture, chopped into small pieces.

Once the mixture is cooked, add a bunch of chopped cilantro and blend with a cup of water until smooth.

Toast 1/2 cup of sesame seeds in a pan, stirring constantly to avoid burning.

Combine the blended salsa with the toasted sesame seeds and a cup of rice, adding water as needed to achieve desired consistency.

Let the mixture simmer on low heat, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.

Once the beets have cooled, slice them into rounds for serving.
