Choripán

Choripán is the pinnacle in Argentine street cuisine, consisting of a chorizo sausage sandwiched between two crusty buns with a selection of toppings. Choripán is the ultimate Argentinean street snack, a must-have before any football match, a favorite among cab drivers, and a staple at markets and street vendors. Because it is generally served at street stands throughout Latin America, it is usually enjoyed on the go.

Choripán is made up of two words: chorizo, which refers to sausage, and pan, which means bread. Made with pork and beef chorizo cooked over charcoal or wood flames, the sausage is grilled, then butterflied down the center, topped with chimichurri, and served between slices of crusty bread.

Caramelized onions, pickled aubergines, green peppers, and a variety of additional seasonings are added depending on the province. The choripán, another gaucho tradition, has undergone a rural-to-urban transformation that has cemented its place on the country's gastronomic map.
