    These Patacones con Carne Desmechada are one of my favorite dishes. I like to serve them as an appetizer, but they are also a delicious lunch.

    This Patacones con Carne Desmechada recipe is proof of how a few basic ingredients can create an unforgettable dish. A delicious recipe doesn’t have to be fancy or expensive to be incredible. I could happily eat this every day for the rest of my life!

    I used my carne desmechada (shredded beef) and simple guacamole recipes to top these patacones.

      I was looking everywhere for Colombian recipes other than the main popular ones. Thank you so much for sharing all these recipes! I was born in Colombia and moved to the states at a young age and miss eating all these home cooked meals. Can't wait to start making them for my family!

      Hola, me encanta este blog, me gustaría saber si tienes esta receta. La vi mucho en la zona cafetera en Colombia se me olvidó el nombre pero se que era un patacón entero con Toppings encima, como trucha con salsa de camarones y otros deliciosos Toppings, muchas gracias!

      Leyendo las recetas colombianas me estoy dando cuenta que son muy similares a las cubanas lo único que cabían son los nombres. El sancocho nosotros le llamamos ajiaco y le agregamos también camotes y plátano maduro. Mi abuela lo hacia muy rico, ella lo hizo un par de veces aquí en Los Angeles pero nunca el sabor es el mismo porque nos hace falta nuestra tierra. Feliz día de Acción de Gracia y Navidad.
