Our favorite Latinx recipes 🌮🤤

Everything from taquitos to tres leches cake.

Here at Tasty, we've been celebrating Latinx Heritage Month by indulging in all the delicious offerings that Latinx culture has to offer, like these cheesy Venezuelan arepas, which I could easily eat every day of the week. Keep reading to check out our tasty all-time classics and underrated favorites! This layered Puerto Rican dish nestles thinly sliced, fried sweet plantains between layers of savory ground beef and mozzarella cheese. It's the perfect balance of savory and sweet.  In Lima, Peru, October is Mes Morado (or purple month) and this is something of its unofficial dessert. It's a sticky, anise-flavored layered cookie treat that's soaked in sugar cane syrup and topped with candy sprinkles. Try it out — and you'll soon be making it for every special occasion! Although they're often eaten as appetizers or little late night snacks, Mexican sopes are one of my favorite dinner recipes because they're fun, easy to make, and go great with so many savory ingredients. Experiment with shredded meat or any of your favorite taco toppings. If you like rice pudding, you'll love this variation, which is made extra creamy with a combination of three milks: whole milk, coconut milk, and sweetened condensed milk. It's topped with toasted coconut and citrus-infused raisins for a nutty and extra sweet finish.  This Nicaraguan-style carne asada is a feast composed of juicy strip steak, queso frito (fried cheese), fried plantains, and rice and beans. I can't think of a better way to celebrate the end of the week than with this sumptuous meal. This cake is more than meets the eye. Cut through a layer of divine vanilla-flavored meringue icing and this Dominican dessert will reveal a moist, fluffy cake with a sweet pineapple filling.  If you have access to plantains, then these pasteles are what you'll want to make this week. If you've never tried one, think of them like tamales made with plantain masa (dough) instead of the corn-based stuff. Here, they're tucked with a savory beef filling seasoned with bijol, raisins, tomato sauce, and herbs. This paella delicious embeds seafood flavor into a bed of extra savory rice seasoned with paprika, diced tomato, saffron, and so much more. It's a comfort food and a social meal designed to be shared with all your loved ones. Whether you love cooking or consider it to be a means to an end, these tools will make the activity much more enjoyable. For instance, take this veggie chopper which will make the tedious task of chopping onions a 30-second step. Or this pasta maker, which will have you feeling like you're the proprietor of your town's trendy new Italian restaurant. Check out the whole list for many more nifty gadgets!
