    This is very good and Caribbean. The sweetness of the butternut squash contrasted nicely with the other ingredients. I had a little difficulty turning the tortillas originally, but soon got the hang of it.

    Caribbean Chicken Picadillo in Tortillas,This colorful & veggie loaded version of picadillo was inspired by the colors of the fresh vegetables sitting on my counter. There are as many versions of picadillo as there are chefs cooking in their homes. This one pleased my family with its slight sweetness and the spicy complement of the topping. I hope it works for your family too. This recipe was created for RSC #8.,This is very good and Caribbean. The sweetness of the butternut squash contrasted nicely with the other ingredients. I had a little difficulty turning the tortillas originally, but soon got the hang of it.
