From September 15 to October 15, we celebrate Latinx Heritage Month: 30 days to honor a multitude of cultures, communities, shared experiences and history – 30 days to grow and educate ourselves as we learn to love, appreciate and embrace our neighbor. And, what better way to start, than with food?! Cuisine lies at the heart of every culture, so here are seven Latin American-inspired recipes to give you a taste of kitchens from around the world.
Dulce de Leche Pudding Parfaits
In Spanish, “Dulce de Leche” literally means “milk that is sweetened.” For all those sweet tooths, this parfait is easy to make, great to take pictures of and tasty as can be! Thanks to Reddi-wip and Snack Pack, this fun take on a Latinx classic recipe is only minutes away.
Mexican Hot Chocolate Roasted Pecans
Quite possibly the ultimate snack, these Mexican Hot Chocolate Roasted Pecans are baked to crunchy perfection and coated in sweet, irresistible Swiss Miss goodness. Delicioso!
Vegetable Quesadillas
Every parent knows that one of the easiest ways to get your kids to eat their veggies, is by absolutely covering them in cheese. Enter: Vegetable Quesadillas with Ro*Tel® Serrano Diced Tomatoes & Green Chilies. It’s vegetable time.
Pina Colada Cupcakes
Cute, crave-worthy and culturally inspired – these Pina Colada Cupcakes are east to make with Duncan Hines cake mix and sure do have it all. Make your own at home today and don’t forget the cherry on top!
Hot Chocolate Churro Bites
Swiss Miss meets snacks in this dangerously good cocoa and cinnamon combination. Perfect for a post-dinner treat or a mid-morning snack with your second (or third) cup of cafecito.
Banana and Guava Pastries
This doughy, flavorful creation is so easy to make, it blows our minds every time we make it! And that little whoosh Reddi-wip on top is sure to impress.
Chipotle Shrimp Tostadas
Tostadas are kind of like taco’s cooler, older cousin. Chipotle Shrimp Tostadas with Hunt’s Diced Tomatoes topped with refried beans and avocado salsa, on the other hand, are the cousin tacos always wishes they could be.
