Pan con Bistec (Steak Sandwich)
Pan con bistec is made with steak, onions, mayo-ketchup, and papitas (potato sticks). I use cube steak, which cooks up juicy and tender. This delicious comfort food is super easy to put together on a busy weeknight.

Cafรฉ con leche or Puerto Rican coffee with milk is a creamy, delicious blend of espresso, steamed milk, and sugar. It is easy to make and comes together in 10 minutes or less. In Puerto Rico, cafรฉ con leche is enjoyed at any time of day, but especially in the morning along with pan con mantequilla (bread with butter). Even kids get a cup of coffee to enjoy. For some reason, there are no age restrictions when it comes to coffee on the island, haha!

Arroz con Dulce or Puerto Rican rice pudding is creamy and delicious with a touch of warm spices. In Puerto Rico, we love adding raisins to the rice pudding with a dusting of cinnamon on top. This dessert is typically served during the holiday season along with other favorites likeย coquito, tembleque, andย budin de pan.

Arroz con pollo is a staple in Latin + Caribbean cuisine made with savory yellow rice and chicken. Traditional Puerto Rican arroz con pollo is packed with flavor because the chicken and rice are cooked together in the same pot. It is one of my go to meals to cook for my family. This hearty one-pot meal is kid-friendly and stores well for leftovers the next day.

Empanadillas or Puerto Rican empanadas are fried turnovers stuffed with savory picadillo. These delicious appetizers are also known as pastelillos. Although they are typically made with picadillo, they can be stuffed with your filling of choice. Some popular varieties include chicken, shrimp, and crab. Empanadillas can also be served as dessert. I love sweet versions like guava and cheese, topped with a dusting of powdered sugar.
