Cheesy Pork and Chicken Afritada

Cheesy Pork and Chicken Afritada is our Christmas version of our Afritada.  I have not only added cheese to our already yummy Pork and Chicken Afritada, I have also added some vegetables to make it complete dish and also make it more appealing in contrast to the usual faritada with our greens.

Cooking is of course similarly the same with our already deliciously proven Afritada dishes.
