Fritada / Mixturiado

Today I am thinking of making one of my many favorite Ecuadorian dishes for dinner, Fritada, or as my husband calls it, Mixturiado. My husband and his family are from Ambato, Ecuador. I, unfortunately, haven't had the pleasure of visiting Ecuador, but will plan to do so one day. I don't have a fancy camera to take beautiful culinary photos of my finished product, but that's also something to work toward acquiring. If you are like me, and starting to become adventurous with trying new recipes, check out some of the great blogs I have noted on how to make this great dish!
