Vaca frita, meaning “fried cow”, is a classic Cuban dish and comfort food at its finest. We skip the frying and let shredded beef crisp up in an oiled skillet along with garlic and cumin. Sautéed onions and peppers nestle up to the crispy beef, while orange and lime add a citrusy pop. Beans and coconut milk powder combine with jasmine rice to make a creamy and hearty bed for the crispy vaca frita.
