This May, both Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World Resort are showcasing Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month with an array of delightful bites and sips to help you join in on the celebrations.

The talented culinary teams have drawn inspiration from various cultures and cuisines, and infused some of their own, personal flair into these dishes. With new and limited-time treats, like the Yuzu Lemonade Coffee at Aunt Cass Café and the Strawberry Boba Milk Tea Petit Cake from Amorette’s Patisserie, as well as items you can indulge in all year long, such as Beef Birria Ramen from Lucky Fortune Cookery, there are plenty of ways to celebrate these cultures through flavor, anytime at Disney Parks.

PLANT-BASED POTATO FLAUTAS

Lamplight Lounge

Disney California Adventure Park
Serves 4

TOMATILLO-SERRANO SAUCE

• 4 small tomatillos (enough to make 1 cup), peeled and washed
• 2 serrano chiles, stem removed
• 1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh garlic
• 1/2 Hass avocado (3 tablespoons)
• 1/4 cup spinach
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup canola oil

VEGAN PIQUILLO CREMA

• 1/2 cup silken tofu
• 1/4 cup chopped piquillo peppers
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon freshly chopped cilantro
• 1 tablespoon roasted garlic puree
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

ARUGULA ESCABECHE SALAD

• 1 cup arugula
• 1 Fresno pepper, sliced into thin rings
• 8 thin slices red onion
• 2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh cilantro
• 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
• Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

POTATO FLAUTAS

• 1 pound Yukon Gold potatoes (about 4 potatoes)
• 1 tablespoon minced serrano pepper, more if you prefer spicy
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic
• 1/2 teaspoon sweet paprika
• 1 tablespoon coarse salt
• 2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
• 12 (6-inch) corn tortillas
• Canola oil, for frying

FOR SERVING

• 1 cup soy chorizo
• Tomatillo-Serrano Sauce
• Potato Flautas
• Vegan Piquillo Crema
• Arugula Escabeche Salad

FOR TOMATILLO-SERRANO SAUCE:

1. Place tomatillos and serrano chiles in a saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 5 to 8 minutes, or until softened. Drain and place in blender
2. Add garlic, avocado, spinach, and salt and puree until smooth. Slowly drizzle in oil with blender running on low speed.

FOR PIQUILLO CREMA:

Place all ingredients in a blender and blend on high until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to use.

FOR ARUGULA ESCABECHE SALAD:

1. Toss arugula, peppers, onion, and cilantro in a bowl. (Take care when handling chilies and peppers)
2. Drizzle with lime juice and season with salt and pepper.

FOR POTATO FLAUTAS:

1. Peel potatoes and cut into cubes. Place in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then simmer until potatoes are fork tender, about 10 minutes. Do not cover.
2. Drain and cool potatoes. Mash until creamy and add serrano pepper, garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper.
3. Warm tortillas and evenly portion filling in each, about 2 tablespoons each. Roll and close with toothpicks, 2 in each roll, spaced evenly apart.
4. With caution, heat enough oil to come 1 inch up the sides of a heavy pan. When oil is 350°F, carefully place flautas in oil and fry until golden, about 4 minutes. Continue working in batches, removing from pan and draining on paper towels. Remove toothpicks.

TO SERVE:

1. While flautas are frying, sauté chorizo in a small frying pan until crisp.
2. Equally divide Tomatillo-Serrano Sauce among 4 serving platters. Place 3 Potato Flautas on top in each platter and top flautas with soy chorizo. Drizzle with Vegan Piquillo Crema and top with a little Arugula Escabeche Salad.

Attention foodies! We’ve got some exciting, and tasty, news to share. A delicious destination at Walt Disney World Resort will be getting some new additions to its menu – The Artist’s Palette at Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa.

This location will be getting a variety of new dishes sure to make you and your taste buds very happy starting tomorrow, August 9. Whether you like sweet, savory, or a little of both, you’ll want to check out this location on your next visit once you see what the talented culinary team has in store for you.

Let’s race over to Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa to see what flavors The Artist’s Palette has painted up for us, shall we?

This location offers breakfast, lunch, and dinner and, starting tomorrow, will be home to a new selection of eats and some returning favorites, all available on mobile order! Start your day with Chef Nick Walker’s new plant-based creation – the Avocado Toast – because who doesn’t love avocado toast? This breakfast bite features avocado, cherry tomatoes, radish, pickled red onions, arugula, and “aïoli” on toasted sunflower bread.

If you’re in for a sweeter start, try the French Toast Strata, a popular breakfast offering now updated with a delicious crème anglaise. It’s also served with fresh berries and your choice of bacon or sausage.

On the move for an exciting adventure at the resort or parks? The grab-and-go market section is filled with offerings sure to please your palette, including the new Charcuterie with Chef’s selection of cheeses, cured meats, and traditional accompaniments. Another addition will be the Turkey BLT served with chef’s house-made pimento cheese.

Any sandwich lovers out there? How about ones from Western New York? If so, the Beef on Weck is inspired by the classic mainstay of the region. It’s made up of sliced brisket and horseradish cream on a caraway brioche bun served with au jus and Saratoga chips. Another handheld option is the tasty Tuna Salad Sandwich on toasted sunflower bread.

For pizza lovers, The Artist’s Palette is home to a wonderful pizza hearth, with dough prepared in-house. The Margherita Pizza remains but has been updated from its previous iteration, now with mozzarella, fresh pizza sauce, and basil pistou on house-made pizza dough.

As dinnertime rolls around after 4:00 p.m., this spot will feature three create-your-own entrées – the Homestyle Meatloaf, Sautéed Garlic Shrimp, and Herb-roasted Chicken. All three of these dishes are served with your choice of two sides – Yukon gold mashed potatoes, garlic green beans, roasted rainbow carrots, steamed white rice, or edamame succotash. What a meal!

If you’re a fan of the longtime favorite, the Saratoga Salad, don’t worry. This staple is here to stay! It combines mixed field greens, feta, dried cranberries, apples, spiced walnuts, crispy ciabatta croutons, and lemon-poppy seed vinaigrette. Now that’s my kind of salad. Another signature offering that you can’t miss is the Ham & Cheese Panini. This bite features sliced ham, smoked gouda, dijon mustard, and quattro formaggi spread pressed to perfection.

For a sweet finish, the bakery team has put together two new treats you’re going to love. First up is the Derby Day Pie. This delight is inspired by traditional sweets from a day at the racetrack and features a pie shell with chocolate-nut filling topped with buttercream and horseshoe décor. Also new, the signature Artist’s Palette Cookie is a mouthwatering sugar cookie with icing ‘paint’ and strawberry biscuit stick ‘paintbrush.’ It’s adorable and delicious.

When you’re looking for refreshing ways to beat the heat, a visit to Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon is a no-brainer. But did you know this rad water park is also a great place for your tween to score Instragrammable snacks that are sure to go viral?

Between catching waves in the Surf Pool, taking a plunge on Crush ‘n’ Gusher and chilling along Castaway Creek, check out these treats that aren’t just ready for a close-up, they’re guaranteed to keep you going for a whole day of fun.

1. Pineapple Upside Down Cone

If you’re looking for an explosion of flavor, the Pineapple Upside Down Cone is the one for you. DOLE Whip and vanilla soft-serve swirl served over vanilla cake pairs perfectly with caramelized pineapple and a cherry, all topped with a white chocolate-dipped cone. If this isn’t giving tropical vibes, then I don’t know what is. Find it at Happy Landings Ice Cream.

Looking for something simpler? The variety of DOLE Whip flavors that can be found all over Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon is incredible! There’s Watermelon, Mango, Pineapple, Strawberry and Raspberry. Which one will you try first?

2. The Iconic Sand Pail Sundae in a Souvenir Sand Pail

Are you and your tween up for a challenge? Gather your entire family and get ready to dive into the iconic Sand Pail Sundae from Happy Landings Ice Cream. What’s in it? Oh, you know, the usual … vanilla and chocolate swirled soft-serve on vanilla cake, then topped with waffle cone pieces, cookies ‘n cream crumbles, caramel, hot fudge, and finished with whipped cream, rainbow sprinkles and a cherry – all served in an exclusive water parks souvenir sand pail. WOW – that was a mouthful – literally!

3. Fish Tacos

Do you and your tween prefer a snack that has the perfect balance between sweet and salty? I’ve got two delicious options for you! First up is the incredible Fish Tacos. Picture this, crispy-battered fish served in a flour taco shell with pineapple salsa and chipotle slaw. YUM!

4. BBQ Grilled Chicken and Roasted Pineapple Flatbread

Where are my pizza lovers? Over at Leaning Palms, you’ll find this flatbread that features homemade BBQ grilled chicken and roasted pineapple, red onions, and cilantro with tomato sauce and mozzarella shredded cheese. It’s like 2 pizzas in one!

5. The Typhoon Tilly Sipper

Although this last one is not edible, it will help you beat the Florida heat with style. I’m talking about the Typhoon Tilly Sipper. This exclusive, limited-time sipper is available with free fountain drink refills during your thrill-packed day.

I know that all of these treats have you ready to put on your best bathing suit, grab some sunscreen and enjoy a full day of tropical adventure! The best part is that at Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon, there’s something for everyone. From challenging your bestie to a race on the Bay Slides to piling the whole gang into a raft on Gangplank Falls to watching your little ones play in Ketchakiddee Creek, it’s endless fun – and a delicious day – for the whole gang.
