If you’ve ever strolled through the streets of Mexico City, chances are you’ve come across the irresistible pambazo sandwich—a delicious street food classic dipped in a rich guajillo sauce. In this recipe, we’ll show you how to make authentic Mexican pambazos at home using simple ingredients and a few easy steps.
Starting with fluffy pambazo bread, the sandwiches are dipped in a sauce made from soaked and blended guajillo chiles, a garlic clove, and seasoning, then cooked over medium heat in a large skillet until perfectly crisp. The filling is a savory mix of chorizo and potatoes, layered with creamy refried beans, fresh shredded lettuce, tangy salsa verde, crumbled queso fresco, and a drizzle of Mexican crema.
This dish is not just a sandwich—it’s a flavor-packed experience, often compared to a torta ahogada, but with its own bold character. In just a few minutes of cook time, you’ll have a pambazo that tastes like it came straight from the heart of Mexico’s street food scene. Perfect for lunch, dinner, or a weekend treat, pambazos are guaranteed to become one of your favorite Mexican comfort foods.
