One word… YUM!
I make Crock Pot Picadillo[1] all the time in my house (Madison’s number one request), and because it makes so much I like to get creative with my leftovers. I came up with this for lunch one day and my husband said I should put it on the blog, so I thought with Cinco De Mayo coming, it would be fun to do some Cuban-Mexi fusion.
I made a really quick & easy Pico de Gallo to add along with the cheddar jack cheese, the results – delicious!
