Most Playa del Carmen supermarkets here have good, fresh-bakery sections. We pay less than US$ 0.10 for each bread roll. Jay chops up fresh onions and puts cucumber, avocado, and beetroot slices in a bowl for assembly. Sometimes, there's a sliced hard-boiled egg. We get a type of local cheese that separates into strings when pulled. We also buy fresh salsa, either green or red, in small cup-sized containers that require refrigeration. Most importantly, Jay frequently debones a large roasted chicken also available in all supermarkets for around $ US$5.30.
We get a number of quick, simple meals from one bird. No one ever tires of chicken!
