I think black beans and rice go great with ropa vieja. They soak up all the delicious sauce.

I recommend pairing ropa vieja with some classic Cuban black beans and rice. The combination of tender shredded beef with the hearty beans and fluffy rice is absolutely delicious. Add a side of fried plantains for a touch of sweetness and you've got a complete meal that's sure to impress! Enjoy your cooking adventure!

I love pairing ropa vieja with some classic sides like rice and beans or sweet plantains for that perfect balance of flavors. Maybe even a side of avocado salad to freshen things up! What about you?
