Answer 3

Paella- Valencian Community an autonomous community in Spain

flan- Spain

empanadas- Most likely Galicia, Spain

ceviche- a mixture of many different cultures that settled in Peru

arepas- Andes in South America (from countries like Colombia and Venezuela)

tostones- likely native to India and Southern Asia. It is assumed that the Portuguese Franciscan friars were responsible for the introduction of tostones to the Caribbean Islands and other parts of the Americas.

pico de gallo- This one is definitely from Mexico

tamales- This one comes from Mexico from the native Nahua indians

tacos- a traditional Mexican dish

licuado de frutas- this is a hard one because people have been eating fruits and fruit drinks since the beginning of time, so I don’t think there is one place it originated from

chiles rellenos- Mexican

mole- traditional Mexican dish from the native Nahua Indians, as well

parrillada mixta- Argentina

mofongo- its from both Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic

rosca de reyes/el pan de muerto- definitely MEXICO!
