The Traditional Puerto Rican Recipes That Brought Me Back to My Late Abuela's Kitchen

If you've never tried Puerto Rican arroz con carne bif (pronounced "beef"), you might be confused or intrigued by the image above, but trust me when I say that this island staple is not to be missed. The main star of the dish is canned corned beef — which comes already cooked — sautéed with a classic blend of seasonings, tossed with homemade french fries, and served over white rice. This dish is salty, savory, and fulfilling in ways you can't even fathom until you try it.
