I saw this one in South Florida. Now, there are a lot of ways to go with this dish, but some things are consistent: black beans, rice, and plantains. The options are pork, chicken or fish. I went with the mahi. Pico de guajillo and avocado finish off the dish. Oh, I almost forgot – the hot sauce. I hope you like it.
