I'm not a fan of spicy food, so I omitted the chili peppers from this recipe. It still turned out great!

The meat was a little tough, but the flavor was good. I think I might try cooking it for a little longer next time.

This vaca frita was a little too salty for my taste, but otherwise it was very good. I would recommend using less salt next time.
