Longoria, who now divides her time between Spain and Mexico after relocating from the US three years ago, mentioned in the trailer: "Eleven generations ago, one of my ancestors departed from Spain to seek a new life in the New World."
"Four centuries later, I'm returning to explore how the land and its people have shaped one of the globe's most vibrant cuisines," the 49-year-old actress remarked.

In the 'Behind the Table' podcast, she explained: "I've spent nearly three years in Europe. My journey was work-related, not political."
The actress, originally from Texas, expressed pride in her American roots, asserting that the US elections did not influence her decision to move.
"I am a proud American, always have been. Proud of my Texan and American identity. I did not leave due to Trump or the elections," she stated.
