Choripán is the Argentine street-food sandwich made with grilled sausage, chimichurri, and a crusty roll.
Its name combines chorizo, meaning sausage, and pan, meaning bread. A fresh chorizo is grilled, split or served whole, and placed in a bread roll such as a baguette-style marraqueta. Chimichurri, a herb-and-vinegar condiment, is the classic accompaniment, although salsa criolla and other sauces are also common.
Choripán is especially associated with Argentina’s asados, or barbecues, and is sold by roadside vendors, at football matches, and outside public events. It is also popular in Uruguay and other parts of South America, where local sausage and bread styles vary.
The dish should not be confused with a lomito, another Argentine sandwich made with steak. Choripán’s defining filling is grilled chorizo, not sliced beef or a breaded cutlet.
