Ingredients
Scale
Bolillo Rolls
- 4 Bolillo rolls
Potatoes
- 2 medium potatoes, cooked and mashed
Chorizo
- 1 cup chorizo, cooked
Red Sauce
- 2 tomatoes
- 2 dried chilies
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 onion
Cheese
- 1/2 cup cheese, shredded
Lettuce
- 1 cup lettuce, shredded
Crema
- 1/2 cup crema (Mexican sour cream)
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: Start by boiling the potatoes until tender. Once cooked, mash them and set aside. In a separate pan, cook the chorizo until browned, then mix it with the mashed potatoes to create a delicious filling.
- Make the Red Sauce: Blend together tomatoes, dried chilies, garlic, and onion to create a smooth sauce. Pour this mixture into a saucepan and simmer for about 10 minutes to develop rich flavors.
- Assemble the Pambazos: Take the bolillo rolls and slice them in half. Dip each half into the red sauce, allowing it to soak up the flavors. Fill the rolls with the potato and chorizo mixture, then close them up.
- Toast the Pambazos: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a little oil. Place the stuffed bolillos in the skillet, toasting each side until golden brown and crispy.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once toasted, remove the pambazos from the skillet and top them with lettuce, cheese, and crema. Serve immediately and watch them disappear!
Notes
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh ingredients will enhance the overall flavor and quality of your pambazos.
- Adjust Spice Levels: Feel free to adjust the spice levels according to your preference, especially with the red sauce.
- Let the Filling Cool: Allow the filling to cool slightly before assembling to prevent sogginess in the bread.
- Experiment with Toppings: Don’t hesitate to try different toppings like avocado or pickled onions for extra flavor.
- Keep the Heat Moderate: When toasting, keep the heat moderate to ensure thorough cooking without burning the bread.
