This is such a quick, easy one pan recipe that is SO delicious. It makes for the perfect weeknight comfort food dinner as it’s really easy to prepare but is sure to satisfy.
I say Cuban inspired lightly because it’s far from traditional, but garlic, cumin and oregano ARE traditional Cuban spices and this dish features all three of them. But other than that, it’s delicious comfort food down to a tee – cheesy, wholesome and warming.
I love anything that’s one pan, not just because it makes washing and tidying up easier, but also because cooking shouldn’t feel like a chore. And I understand that not everyone gets pleasure from slogging away for hours creating something like I do. So, this is a really quick, easy recipe that anyone can do. I hope you love making it just as much as eating it!
Thank you so much for stopping by, I hope you enjoyed this post and feel inspired to make something delicious!
