Hispanic Heritage Month Recipes

Happy Hispanic Heritage Month! Each year, from September 15 to October 15 Americans celebrate National Hispanic Heritage Month by sharing the histories, cultures and contributions of American citizens whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, Central and South America. 2021 was especially significant because it was the 200th anniversary of Costa Rican Independence from Spain. Here are a few traditional & unique Latin American recipes you may want to add to your menu: 

Chorreadas - Costa Rican Corn Pancakes


Like a true Latina, I'm a little late to Hispanic Heritage Month due to illness, but now that I'm back I figured the best recipe to start with is a breakfast dish! Chorreadas are a thin crepe-like corn pancake that's eaten for breakfast or as an afternoon snack in Costa Rica. These sweet eggy pancakes are served warm with natilla (Costa Rican Sour Cream) or grated fresh cheese and a hot Café Chorreado. These tasty pancakes are a great way to start cooler Autumn mornings. 
Here's my recipe for tasty Chorreadas - Costa Rican Corn Pancakes:
