Pollo Tropical

So if you're anything like me, and grew up in South Florida, Pollo Tropical is A-Mazing! I went to eat there recently with a friend after a long hiatus away from it and it just renewed my love for beans and rice and mojo marinated pork. I really wanted to go get a TropiChop for dinner, but Matt insists that he isn't a fan. So I decided I would make my own version of my favorite TropiChop and prove to him that it's good food and he would love it if he just gave it a chance. I scoured the Internet for some kind of copy-cat recipe, but didn't really come up with anything that seemed right. So what did I do? A little of this, a little of that. And it was perfect!!

TropiChops are bowls filled with your favorite Pollo Tropical starch (or lettuce - but why would you do that?), some beans (if you like), veggies (again, if you like), and then the protein of your choice. Very simple, standard, basic cuisine found all over the Caribbean and Central America. So really, I knew I couldn't go too wrong.
