Argentineans and their dulce de leche are inseparable.  It's served on just about everything, in every imaginable way.  Almost as if there was a colonial-era Iron Chef competition, and the ingredient was dulce de leche.  And Willy Wonka won.  
 
Dulce de leche fills alfajores, the famous Argentinean sandwich cookie, it's an helado flavor, it's piped into puff pastry as a filling for facturas, used as almibar between cake layers, even reputedly put on the occasional ham sandwich, though those reports cannot be confirmed.  (Perhaps it was Mr. Wonka's sandwich.)
 
So the natural evolution is that dulce de leche should be put on crepes.  These sweetly filled crepes are called  panqueques.  (Pronounced pahn KAY kays) Not to be confused with an American-style pancake, these are paper-thin and strictly filled with dulce de leche.   (The savory version are called Canelones.)
 
Panqueques  are typically served for dessert, but don't let that stop you.
