Minced Pork with Almonds, Raisins and Sweet Spices (Picadillo Oaxaqueño) from Rick Bayless' Authentic Mexican, and Spicy Jícama, Cucumber and Fruit Skewers (we skipped the skewers and made it a salad) from Fiesta at Rick's.
The Picadillo is often in an empanada, but we did not want to fry, so we did the Picadillo in a tortilla--the empanada would have been better. The salad was delicious.
