Discover the Magic of the Pambazo Torta Sandwich

[@jameshaulenbeek5931]

Wonderful! Chorizo, potatoes, and onion is by far one of the *best* combinations!

[@oldschoolfunkster1]

Try mixing cooked chorizo with your refried beans. Just as good, or even a better option than the potatoes. Either way, they're BOTH delicious combos.

[@jameshaulenbeek5931]

@@oldschoolfunkster1 i love using black beans for that!

[@patinpatin12]

In my town in guanajuato, they mash the potatoes and add cheese, jalapeño vinegar, and the chorizo to them 😋 👌

Great tip on cooking the chorizo!

[@jomercer21113]

With scrambled eggs instead of potatoes, this makes a fabulous breakfast sandwich.

[@dennism1869]

That looks fantastic. maybe not as spicy, but it looks fantastic.

Pambazos are a favorite at our house! I need to make them again, haven't had them in a while.

[@cynthiamills7192]

Looks yummy 😊

[@rosefelix2561]

Looks delicious!

I love the Pambazo but my wife hates it. She doesn't like the chili sauce. Maybe I should add some more sugar to it (I already tried adding some) to make it sweeter and less hot but that's not authentic. She doesn't like my Chili Colorado either because of the sauce. I guess I could also just make it and just give her a dry bun.

Time to find a new wife 😂

It looks amazing. Reminds me of a mixture between a burger and a calzone.😋

[@lorenbush8876]

I'll have to try that, I love good chorizo. Thanks

[@gitgeronimo9375]

The ones at El Habanero in Logan Square are delicious!

[@menkros1]

Delicious

[@thomasryan9754]

I am a bit surprised you did not coat the inside surface of the buns, cook, flip, coat and cook. I thought traditionally both sides were cooked on say a plancha. Nonetheless, this is my new favorite torta of late so super excited that you have a recipe.

[@EllaTravels1986]

Yummy!

[@lf2334]

Not gonna lie... this seems like Mexican stoner food. Potatoes and bread... pork and lettuce... It doesn't really make sense culinarily, but that doesn't mean it doesn't taste good. I'll try this the next time I take an edible.

What is chorizo

[@oldschoolfunkster1]

You don't want to know🤭. But DANG is it tasty. Seriously, it's a Mexican sausage made with chili pods (not hot), spices and a variety of parts from the pig or cow. Just don't read the ingredients label and you'll be fine. Lol.

[@stephenadler1098]

😂🤣😂😂don’t let nothing go to waste. Thank you for replying.

[@menkros1]

Use beef chorizo

[@gitgeronimo9375]

Pork is more widely used in Mexico (and in Chicago), but you can find beef

[@oldschoolfunkster1]

​@@gitgeronimo9375... I prefer the pork chorizo. To me it's tastier than beef chorizo. Only downside is the pork renders more grease (depends on the brand) while it cooks. I usually put a paper towel on top to soak some of that grease out. The beef is still good though. A close second.

[@Bojoschannel]

Beef chorizo is too heavy and not as flavorful

[@erickeenan7562]

Hey Rick...great recipe....but don't try to accomodate the microwave crowd. I hardly EVER use the microwave to cook. I just reheat with micowave. For the potatos, just get some lightly salted water boiling and then dump those potato chunks in for about 5 minutes par/poaching, drain them, maybe lett them dry out a bit for two mintues, then add to choriso. That is what I would imagine the abuela would do!

[@lf2334]

The microwave does the same thing, but quicker. If it makes you feel more "chefy" to boil them instead of microwave steaming them, go for it. The results are the same. Also, if you're going to boil them, don't lightly salt the water. You're just boiling bland potatoes at that point. Season through each step. Boiling requires more salt.
