Pambazo

Pambazo is a Mexican dish or "antojito" (very similar to the torta) made from special bread dipped in a red "guajillo" pepper sauce and filled with a "guiso" (filling) like "papas con chorizo" (potatoes with chorizo), "frijoles refritos" (refried beans) or "longaniza". It is then garnished with shredded lettuce, "salsa" (sauce), cream and queso fresco (fresh cheese).

Originally, this is the classic recipe, but as the dish spread through the states it underwent some changes. The bread used for pambazos is white and lacks a crispy crust, and it is also called pambazo. This particular bread is made of flour, lard, eggs, and its tougher than a bolillo, which allows it to retain its shape while being soaked in sauce.
