10 Great Puerto Rican Recipes

Picture
There's no question PR Food is my favorite. My Grandmother Petra used to make me Arroz Gandules, Puerto Rican style chicken and rice and beans that were so amazing. The first place I go when I visit South Florida is to Abuela's house. So in her honor I found these 10 great Puerto Rican Style chicken recipes from our Amigos over at Yummly. These guys have a lot of great Puerto Rican recipes. Here at the Hispanic Food Network we love friends, fun but most of all food. Enjoy!
