I need a Latin dish

zsazsa-stl

I'm going to a party where everyone is asked to bring a Latin dish.   I am kitchen challenged, so simplicity is a must.  Also, I live far away from fancy stores, so ingredients must be available in a regular grocery store/Wal-Mart.  Suggestions?

I was going to say paella, but the rice can be a challenge. Hmm...maybe plantains? Not entirely Latin, but PR is close enough right?

Wait, unless by Latin it is supposed to be something ancient Greek-ish. Then that grape leaf dish.

Pernil sounds doable, but Nachos Bell Grande will be my back-up.  Thanks!!
