Cuban Frita Recipe That’s Packed with Flavor

A Cuban hamburger is called a frita. It’s a small burger – think like a slider – that is full of flavor. They are fried up on a sauté pan and placed on a small bun. 1-2 fritas are consumed for a meal. 

A Cuban Frita

A frita recipe includes similar ingredients as a traditional American burger, but with a cuban twist, of course. Remember Cuban food isn’t spicy  like other Hispanic food – read my post that Cubans Don’t Do Tacos. Cuban food is full of flavor.

Burger Toppings

I’m a toppings girl. I like it all on my burger. Sautéed onions, pickles, mustard, ketchup, lettuce, tomato, cheese….I could go on.  I also like to go traditional, in a Cuban sort of way.  The cuban hamburger, a frita, doesn’t always have toppings except for the papitas (shoestring potato sticks.)  Could you throw on a slice of cheese? Of course! It’s your frita!
