These Cuban Nachos Gotta Lotta Salsa

I am a Cuban girl through and through.  I have Cuban blood running through my veins.  Although I was born in the United States (specifically Ohio), I have grown up as a Cuban so I identify more with that than my American roots sometimes.  Being Cuban has a lot of happiness as well as tragedy (tragedy because we were unable to stay in Cuba due to the rise of Castro taking away all of my grandparent’s homes and belongings), but it has happiness because we were able to come here to the states and can live out our Cuban roots in this free country.

One of the best things about Cuba is the food. Oh goodness, everything they serve is absolutely delicious.  From the breaded steaks with rice and beans all the way down to the fried yucca and green and sweet plantains, everything is so delicious.

My husband and I enjoy at least 2 or 3 homemade Cuban meals per week, and if we visit any of my grandparents, we get even more.  I love all the flavors, so I decided to combine them all into one big dish. I wanted something easy to eat and with lots of flavor, and ended up with this!

wow, you are not only what appears to be a great cook, but describing the food!! got me wanting to read the whole article. Now I can’t wait to try the dish. Being a Honkie, thru and thru, (Los Angeles born and raised) I’m used to Mexican flavors. I will, however, have to do the pork in (whispering) an Instant Pot pressure cooker. (Is that a bad word…try it, you’ll LOVE it!!) thanks for submitting this. When I make it I will post results. 🙂
