The most common are "revueltas" (cheese, pork rinds and beans), cheese with loroco and beans with cheese. They are accompanied by salsa prepared with natural tomatoes and a salad that is prepared with cabbage, carrot, grated onion and, occasionally, chili. Everything is submerged in vinegar. Some
people who are accustomed to eating with a fork prefer not to get

fingers.

They are also known as Migueleño breads because they are characteristic of the department of San Miguel in the eastern part of the country. They are attractive for their flavor and size. It is a bread of elongated flour, which in the inside is placed tomato, cucumber, lettuce, watercress and, if the person prefers it, can be pickled. After that, a portion of chicken meat is placed and when it is served, in the end, natural tomato-based sauce is added. Some people are not as attracted by its name as they are by its taste.
