It was so nice to see you use a sandwich de mezcla recipe! A little tip for the next time you wanna make them though: use Velveeta cheese instead of Tostito's Queso and pulse it for a little longer in the food processor. The Velveeta cheese and the further processing gives it a smoother and creamier taste and texture (you can also add a bit of the roasted pepper brine to smooth out the texture more). Its a really common snack at parties here in Puerto Rico. A party ain't a party without them. And since the spread keeps for a while it's great for picnics or a quick breakfast sandwich as well. I'm honestly glad to see it included in the video so thank you. I love watching your videos and I learn so much from them too!

One of our typical Chamorro breakfast meals is SPAM FRIED RICE!! Cut the spam into medium or small cubes. Fry it down first until it has a little or a lot of that crunchy texture to it on two or all sides (or no crunchiness at all is good too). Chop or dice a regular onion, cook that until the onion is half way cooked. Add onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper and a LITTLE bit of soy sauce (If you don't like or don't have soy sauce its still good without). With leftover or fresh cooked rice add it to your pan and mix mix mix! If you want to be a little fancy add green onions on top before you serve it lol. Oh!! Add a fried or scrambled egg on top or on the side too. This would be a great breakfast at Nana and papas house on the weekends on Guam. Let me know if you try it or like it!! It was super cool seeing "Guam" in your title and video.

Puerto Rican sub here so when I saw the vid and then notice “Puerto Rico” in the tittle I clicked double as fast! 😂 The sandwich the mezcla was too runny though. It needed cheez whiz instead of queso dip (though that would make it a tad more salty) and it should have been the consistency of a spread like guacamole, pimento spread or whipped cream cheese consistency; creamy, it should stay put and not run nor seep into the bread. It’s a common childhood birthday party snack! Also, I need to make the South Korean recipe!I lived there for 3 months and Uijeongbu was one of the cities I visited. I love kimchi and miss the Korean food so bad!! Also, that Chamorro recipe looks so yummy! I always enjoy your videos so much and your enthusiastic energy!
