Swaps and substitutions

For a lighter or lower-fat version, swap the ground beef for lean turkey or chicken, while keeping the same bold Cuban-inspired seasoning. If you need a vegetarian option, use cooked lentils or extra beans in place of the beef, and skip the olives if you prefer a milder, lower-sodium finish.

What to serve with it

Serve with a crisp green salad, sliced avocado, or warm corn tortillas to add freshness and balance the rich, savory filling. A squeeze of lime and a simple cucumber side also work well alongside the rice and beans.
