Choripán (Argentinian chorizo sandwich)
Jul 28, 2025 01:28 AM
Choripán is a wonderfully tasty, and easy sandwich made with gently spicy chorizo, crisp bread, a bright herby chimichurri sauce and optional salsa criolla. It's easy to make, packed with flavor and perfect as part of a grilling line up, or simply just because.
Chorizo is something that can vary quite a lot from one place to another. On the whole, it's a spiced sausage, but you'll find quite a range in what exactly that looks like from one place to another. However I've yet to find a form I don't enjoy and this tasty sandwich from Argentina, and also found in nearby countries, is a great example of a probably less known form.
On the face of it, it's a sausage sandwich, which is never a bad place to start. But this particular one has such a delicious set of flavors going on that are quite distinct from, say, a hotdog or Italian sausage sandwich. It's well worth enjoying.
Ingredients:
For chimichurri sauce
- ½ cup finely chopped parsley about ½ bunch, or a little more to taste
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano or use around double if fresh

- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 dash salt
- ¼ cup olive oil or a little more as needed
For salsa criolla
- ½ tomato large
- ¼ red onion
- ¼ bell pepper or possibly more
- 1 tablespoon parsley
- 1 tablespoon wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
For rest of sandwiches
- 4 French-style rolls or eg ½ a demi-baguette per sandwich
- 4 chorizo sausages Argentinian-style, see notes
