Community Cocina: Pandebono Colombiano

Just a couple of weeks ago on Thursday, August 16th, QLatinx's Community Cocina celebrated its renewal with the first dish of its new year: Colombian pandebono! Pandebono, also known as pan de bono, is a traditional Colombian dish consisting of baked cheesy dough. It's delicious whether you're on the go or sitting and drinking your Colombian coffee in the morning!
