Bolivia Food Blogging: Silpancho

Silpancho is pretty much just a deconstructed tranchapecho. It’s quick dish that’s kind of in-between street food and a real restaurant dish. It has the same protein as tranchapecho with a fried egg on top, and is served with rice, potatoes, and a salad. The one corner place by me has a real simple menu, highlighting the affinity between silpancha and tranchapecho:

At about 7 bolivianos to the dollar, either one is a good deal for lunch.

This is the king of street food here, or just my favorite. Anyways, el tranchapecho is a sandwich of a thin slice of beef, a fried egg, rice, a potato or two, and a salad of carrots, onions, tomatoes and sometimes something green. It’s good in a fast food way and very filling. You can get them spicy or not.
