Choripán is a sandwich consisting of a grilled slice of Chorizo sausage, usually served in a baguette. If you really crave an aromatic meal, put some chimichurri, a sauce similar to pesto sauce, on your choripán. This spicy sandwich, often served along with salsa, is often sold at sport events and street fairs. It is a light snack that’s easily eaten on the go, and is a popular breakfast food.
The traditional Argentine choripán consists of a grilled beef and pork sausage placed in a tasty baguette. The chorizo served within this sandwich can be served whole, or cut in half, in which case the dish is called a mariposa (meaning butterfly).
The choripán is usually served with various toppings.
