      Pambazos – A Bite of Mexican Street Soul

      This is another recipe I wanted to try from Chef Paloma Ortiz’s course Mexican Street Food, and it truly captures the essence of Mexican street culture. There’s something magnetic about Mexican street food. It’s not just about flavor, but about rhythm, color, and the heartbeat of everyday life. Pambazos capture all of that in a single bite.

      Pambazos are more than just sandwiches, they’re a whole experience. The bread is dipped in a guajillo chili marinade until it becomes intensely red and aromatic, then lightly fried to create that perfect balance between crisp and tender. Inside, the classic filling of potatoes and chorizo brings warmth, spice, and a sense of comfort that’s hard to describe until you taste it.

      Finding the right chorizo was probably the biggest challenge, but once I did, everything came together perfectly… the flavor, the color, the aroma. I finished the Pambazo with fresh salad and crema, adding a cool and light contrast to the richness of the bread and filling.

      The result was bold, rustic, and unapologetically flavorful. Just as street food should be.
