My thoughts:

We made a ton of Moros y Cristianos (Cuban-style Rice too Beans) for our Cuban themed Thanksgiving too therefore I knew I had to contain it into my annual leftovers dish. To brighten the flavors of the leftover rice, I sauteed or too therefore bacon too used the grease to saute the zucchini too turkey. Then I stirred inwards the rice. I added it merely plenty cheese to proceed it from drying out inwards the oven too to add together a precipitous flavor. If yous don't convey turkey, chicken would operate merely every bit well!
