Americans, how to deal with latino food?Latinos don't eat like americans.But we latinos knows how to eat.If you want to impress your latinos friends,take note to these tips.

• La Sazon is very important:Latinos have a special seasoning call Sazon.Sazon is a blend of  spices.Some include Achiote,that give color to the food.Oregano,recao and other latin americans spices.
• Hot,hot,hot and spicy:If your friends are from Mexico and centroamerica spice food is important.From Jalapeño to the famous Chile.And please,mexican food is more than tacos and burritos.
• Sofrito:Sofrito is a blend of ingredients like tomato,herbs ,spices,garlic and other ingredients that we put at the begining of the cook.
• Frituras:A latino party is nothing without a proper fritura.A lot of variety including empanadas,arepas,rellenos and a lot of yummi stuff that doctor don't want us to eat that.But we don't care.
• Pork;Latinos love pork.From puertorican Carne frita to mexican Cochinita pibi,we love to eat them.And we have our own  recipe.

I like a phrase americans have comfort food.Comfort food is mom cooking.La abuela recipe that we missed a lot.And latino food have a lot of that.I hope you enjoy those tips.
