My daughter in law, Yami, tells the family that this is remarkably close to a Cuban tradition. We discovered this recipe, and it soon became a family favorite.
A fabulous and delicious tradition for Christmas dinner or big party/happening. Try serving in lettuce cups or tortillas. Add sour cream or Pico de Gallo for a taste treat.
