Latin American cuisine
South-of-border fare
Latin American cuisine encompasses the food traditions of Mexico, Central America, South America, and the Caribbean.
Despite vast regional differences, common threads include corn, beans, rice, chiles, and tropical fruits.
Spanish and Portuguese colonization layered European techniques onto indigenous cooking, while African influences shaped Caribbean and Brazilian dishes.
