🇵🇷 PUERTO RICAN PASTELES vs. MEXICAN TAMALES 🇲🇽

They might look similar when they’re wrapped up, but pasteles and tamales are NOT the same! 👀

🇵🇷 Puerto Rican Pasteles: The masa is traditionally made with ingredients like green bananas, plantains, yautía and other root vegetables. They’re commonly filled with seasoned pork and wrapped in banana leaves. 🌿

🇲🇽 Mexican Tamales: Traditionally made with a corn-based masa, filled with meats, cheeses, chiles, sauces or even sweet fillings, and usually wrapped in corn husks or banana leaves depending on the region. 🌽🌶️

Both have MANY different versions depending on the family and where you’re from—and both take some love and work to make! ❤️

🔥 Now for the battle…
If you had BOTH sitting in front of you but could only choose ONE:

🇵🇷 PASTELES or 🇲🇽 TAMALES? 🇲🇽

👇 Tell me your choice in the comments—and no cheating by saying BOTH! 😂

🇵🇷 Puerto Rico vs. Mexico 🇲🇽 — What seasonings do we use the most?

Ever wonder what gives Puerto Rican and Mexican food their signature flavors? 👀

🇵🇷 Puerto Rico: One of the biggest flavor foundations is adobo, along with sofrito and sazón. Adobo is commonly used to season meats, chicken, pork, and many everyday dishes. Garlic, oregano, black pepper, and other spices are HUGE in Puerto Rican cooking.

🇲🇽 Mexico: There isn’t just ONE seasoning that rules them all! Mexican cooking relies heavily on chiles, along with cumin, Mexican oregano, garlic, onion, and cilantro, depending on the region and dish. 🌶️

The biggest difference? 🇵🇷 Puerto Rican cooking often gets its signature flavor from adobo + sofrito/sazón, while 🇲🇽 Mexican cooking is especially known for the incredible variety of chiles and regional spice combinations.

Both cuisines are packed with flavor—but in completely different ways! 😋🔥

👇 Which seasonings can you NOT cook without in your kitchen?

🌮🇲🇽 DO YOU KNOW WHERE TACOS REALLY CAME FROM?

Tacos are much older than you might think! 👀

🌽 Where did they originate?
Tacos have their roots in Mexico, going back to the Indigenous peoples of Mesoamerica, who were eating corn tortillas with different foods long before the Spanish arrived.

👤 Who invented the taco?
There is no known individual inventor. The tradition developed over generations as people used tortillas to hold or accompany foods like beans, chiles, fish, meats, and vegetables.

🌮 What was the first taco?
Nobody knows for sure! There is no recorded “first taco.” It was most likely a simple corn tortilla folded around whatever food was available at the time.

⛏️ Fun fact: One theory says the word “taco” may be connected to Mexican silver miners, who used the word for small paper-wrapped gunpowder charges. The exact origin of the word is still debated!

🇲🇽 From simple corn tortillas to the MANY tacos we enjoy today, tacos have become one of Mexico’s most loved and recognized foods around the world. ❤️🌮

👇 What’s YOUR favorite kind of taco?

🥖 BOLILLO VS. TELERA — WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE? 🇲🇽

Did you know that even though bolillo and telera are both traditional Mexican breads, they’re not exactly the same? 👀

🥖 BOLILLO:
Usually longer and oval-shaped, almost like a small baguette. It has a crispier crust with a soft, airy inside. It can be used for tortas, molletes, or simply served alongside a meal.

🥯 TELERA:
Usually wider, flatter, and softer than a bolillo. You can recognize it by the two lines across the top that divide it into three sections. Telera is especially popular for making Mexican tortas. 🇲🇽

✨ The easiest way to remember:
👉 Bolillo = longer & crispier
👉 Telera = wider, flatter & softer

And YES — you can make a delicious torta with either one! 😋 It all comes down to what you like and what’s available.

💬 Which one do you prefer for your tortas: BOLILLO or TELERA?
Or does it not matter as long as the torta is GOOD? 😂👇

🍝🍌 ITALIAN LASAGNA vs. PUERTO RICAN PASTELÓN 🇮🇹🇵🇷

Have you tried BOTH? 👀 And do you think they’re similar… or completely different?

At first glance, they actually have a lot in common! Both are layered, baked dishes made with meat, cheese, and lots of flavor. ❤️ But the BIG difference is what makes each one special!

🇮🇹 Italian Lasagna
Lasagna is traditionally layered with pasta sheets, sauce, meat and cheeses. Depending on the style, you may see ricotta, mozzarella, Parmesan, béchamel, or a combination.

🇵🇷 Puerto Rican Pastelón
Pastelón is made with layers of sweet ripe plantains (maduros) instead of pasta! 🍌 The plantains are layered with seasoned ground beef (picadillo), cheese, and often an egg mixture to help everything hold together.

✨ THE SIMILARITY:
Both are comforting, layered, cheesy baked dishes.

🔥 THE BIG DIFFERENCE:
Lasagna = pasta 🍝
Pastelón = sweet plantains 🍌

So I want to know, Humble Squad… 👇

Which one are you choosing: LASAGNA 🇮🇹 or PASTELÓN 🇵🇷?
And if you’ve had both, which one wins for you? 😋❤️

A few of you have asked me to make an Amazon wishlist for Neymar’s 7th birthday so you could bless him with a gift. 🥹💙

I also want to say a huge thank you to the two amazing people who reached out and said, “He’s having a party, even if it’s small, but he’s having his day.” Because of your kindness, Neymar will be celebrating his special day.

Thank you all for thinking of my baby and for helping make his birthday so special. May God bless each and every one of you! ❤️🎉

To my YouTube family,

This is one of the hardest things I’ve had to write, but I need to step away from everything and everyone for a little while.

Lately, I’ve felt like I’ve been living in a black hole, and the truth is… I’m not okay.

I’ve been struggling just to pay for my medications, and now my son’s birthday is next week. He’s been so excited and looking forward to it, and I was recently told that his dad won’t be doing anything for his birthday. As a mother, that breaks my heart into a million pieces. My son deserves to have his little birthday celebration, no matter how small it may be. The fact that I can’t give him that right now is something that’s weighing heavily on me.

I know some people think I’m making good money from YouTube, but the reality is, I’m not. The little I’ve made isn’t enough to provide the life I want for my children.

I also know some people will say, “Just leave.” Please understand that life isn’t always that simple. Yes, I know I’m still here because I’ve made that choice, but walking away isn’t just about me. It means turning my children’s lives upside down too. It’s easy to judge when you’ve never had to live someone else’s reality. Sometimes the hardest decisions are the ones people can’t see.

Taking this break breaks my heart because this community has become so much more than subscribers. You’ve become part of my life, and I love and appreciate every single one of you.

Right now, I need to focus on getting myself back together, finding a way to move forward, and figuring out how to create a better future for me and my kids. I don’t know how long I’ll be gone, but I hope you’ll understand why I need this time.

Thank you for every prayer, every kind word, every comment, every view, and every bit of love you’ve shown me over the years. I’ll never forget it.

I love you all.

Please keep me and my children in your prayers. ❤️

🌿 Epis vs. Sofrito: What’s the Difference? 🌿

Have you ever wondered what the difference is between Haitian epis and Puerto Rican sofrito? While they have their own unique flavors and traditions, they actually have a lot in common!

🇭🇹 Epis comes from Haiti, while 🇵🇷 sofrito is a staple of Puerto Rican cuisine. Since both islands are part of the Caribbean, it’s no surprise that these two seasonings share many of the same fresh ingredients and cooking traditions.

✨ What they have in common:
• Both are fresh seasoning blends.
• Both are used to marinate meats and add flavor to rice, beans, soups, stews, and many other dishes.
• Both commonly include garlic, onions, bell peppers, herbs, and oil.
• Both are considered the heart of many traditional family recipes.

🌿 What makes them different?
🇭🇹 Haitian Epis
• Usually made with parsley, thyme, garlic, onions, scallions, bell peppers, and often lime juice or vinegar.
• Can include Scotch bonnet peppers for heat.
• Has a fresh, herb-forward flavor and is commonly used as a marinade before cooking.

🇵🇷 Puerto Rican Sofrito
• Often made with culantro (recao), cilantro, garlic, onions, bell peppers, and ají dulce peppers.
• Typically doesn’t include vinegar or lime juice.
• Is commonly sautéed at the beginning of a recipe to build flavor before adding the other ingredients.

❤️ At the end of the day, both epis and sofrito are more than just seasonings—they represent culture, family, tradition, and generations of incredible home cooking. They may have their differences, but they both bring amazing flavor to the table.

👇 Have you ever tried both? Which one do you prefer, or which one would you love to try? Let me know in the comments!
