What is your favorite Spanish inspired food/dessert?

Question

Favorite Food from a Spanish speaking country! Cuba,Mexico,Peru,etc.

Answer 1

Oh, so much good food!

Just a couple of contributions, I have lots of favorites!

Pabellón Criollo (Venezuela, Colombia - versions available throughout the Caribbean)

Flan or quesillo (milk and egg custard)

Now I've got to go. I'm hungry!!!

Gekkosan, the flan, which we call leche flan here, has been a very popular dessert here ever since I can remember. Muy delicioso! - Rikko, ABR 26, 2010

I think the flan is part of our common Spanish heritage. :-) - Gekkosan, ABR 26, 2010

Answer 2

I love empanadas! I don't think they come from a specific country, but they taste really good!

Answer 3

My absolute favorite is fajitas. I love them. I make everything, even the tortillas, from scratch. I think the best thing about them is that it doesn't matter what you put in them. You really can be imaginative with what you use. My wife and I often make whatever kind of bean we are in the mood for, rice, eggs, corn, hot peppers, bell peppers, tomatoes, potatoes, lettuce, cabbage, whatever kind of meat we happen to pull out of the freezer, salsa, sour cream, and Ranch dressing. Of course, we don't use all those ingredients every time, but we have the option. They are so delicious. It's hard for me to not eat more than three or four every time. I know that I can eat eight or more.

Answer 4

I love pollo guisado made with grape juice served with a side of arroz con gandules.

Pupusas are a close second.

Answer 5

Papa a la huancaina is my favorite Peruvian dish. My Peruvian friend just brought it over to my house for dinner a few nights ago and it was great. It has lettuce, hardboiled eggs, olives, some kind of sauce, and potatos.

Answer 6

Spanish paella and Mexican burritos! Makes me hungry just thinking of them.

Answer 7

platanos de tentación - I've had them in Cuba.

I also like ropa vieja. I'm not sure if this is from any one country. I also had it in Cuba..

Yep. "Ropa vieja" is similar to the "pabellón" I show in my post. It's a staple dish, in some delicious form or another in most of the Caribbean. - Gekkosan, ABR 26, 2010

Love them, too! - territurtle, AGO 24, 2011

Answer 8

The "discada" of the north of México has always been a favorite, you never really know what the ingredients will be because everyone brings something to put in the "disk" Pero sin falta siempre es deliciosa!

¡¡¡¡QuesaTacos!!! from Mexico

and Platano Frito (Maduro) (thatI had for dessert every day in Peru_
