"I believe that this recepe is fine being labled Puerto Rican. My boyfriend is Puerto Rican born and raised and he uses egg in his Chquito. His recipe came from his Mami and she got it from her Mami who got it from her Mami and so on. You can't get any more Puerto Rican than that. I think its simply a matter of family tradition, and a small difference in your choice of ingredients does not make it a non Puerto Rican recipe. Its just a matter preference. Puerto Rico is a big Island with many different families and they make their dishes and drinks in many different ways.
