Ranga ranga is usually topped with a fresh salsa of onion, tomato and locoto chili that cuts through the rich tripe.
Beef tripe is simmered in a spicy chili and onion sauce until tender, then served with boiled potatoes and hominy. Street stalls in Tarija sell it as a hearty, inexpensive lunch.
Why it's made this way: Tripe stews like ranga ranga are a Tarija specialty tied to the valley's cattle-ranching economy and thrifty use of the whole animal.
