Street sale of choripanes in Plaza de Mayo, Buenos Aires, Argentina.

A choripán (plural: choripanes) is a popular sandwich in Argentina and later adopted in Chile. The name comes from the combination of its ingredients: a grilled chorizo and a crusty bread (in Spanish: pan) such as a baguette. The chorizo may be used whole or cut in half lengthwise, in this case it is called a mariposa (butterfly). It is customary to add sauces on the bread, most likely chimichurri.
