I’m Kim. I love running, cooking, and curling up with a good book! Here you’ll find simple and delicious recipes that you can make in 30 minutes or less.If you're a fellow food lover, whenever you conjure the idea of a country, you're likely thinking about its cuisine. Italy is synonymous with overflowing pasta bowls and steaming pizzas straight out of a brick oven. A flash of Seoul in a movie makes me crave bibimbap and kimchi. Some places may be so passionate about a certain dish, it's considered the country's national meal, albeit unofficially. But in other countries, it's much too hard to narrow down to one favorite, or the cuisine varies so much by region that picking one dish just wouldn't be fair.
No matter how you cook it up, tasting a country's most popular dish is a great way to get a grasp of what that place has to offer—what their land is like, what they prioritize, and how they live. What follows is a tour across Latin America through each country's preferred plates. If you can't book a flight to each, you might as well try their best flavors.
Asado is less a dish than a cooking technique: It refers to meat grilled over a fire. Like a barbecue in the U.S. (or anywhere!), asado is a great excuse to get people together to socialize and eat. Alongside the typical meats—chorizo, rib eye, flank steak, and more—there's typically served a bright chimichurri sauce.

Black beans, pork, and beef come together in this national dish to make a hearty stew.

You can find empanadas all over the world, especially in Latin America, but the Chilean versions are typically bigger and stuffed with savory meat and spices. The filling of beef, raisins, onions, olives, and hard-boiled eggs is another distinction.

This simple Costa Rican dish is packed with flavor. It is mostly comprised of rice and beans, but the humble combo is cooked with chicken stock, sweet peppers, onion, and garlic.

The name of this Cuban dish translates to old clothes, but you'll forget the unappetizing moniker once you take a bite.
