Colombian recipe request (self.food)

Hi Beehaw! Last week, I made an authentic gumbo with a painstaking dark roux and ate it while watching The Princess and the Frog with my girlfriend. I quite enjoyed cooking a meal that matched the movie and wanted to do a themed dinner again for our next movie, Encanto!

I haven't seen Encanto yet but I'm vaguely aware it's Colombian. Does anyone have suggestions for popular Colombian dishes? I am a hobbyist cook so long and intricate recipes aren't a turn off. I live in Southern California so I have lots of access to Mexican and international markets.

Thanks and looking forward to your suggestions!

My wife and I have been making Colombian arepas a lot since Encanto came out. This is J. Kenji Lopez-Alt's: https://www.seriouseats.com/colombian-style-arepas-griddled-or-grilled-corn-cakes-recipe

This looks great and I love Kenji's recipes. I saw the related braised pork arepa... That might be the ticket! 🤤
