Churrasco Italiano
🇮🇹
Photo coming soon
The sandwich is called 'Italiano' purely for its colors — red tomato, white mayonnaise, and green avocado — echoing the Italian flag, with no actual Italian recipe involved.
Thin-cut grilled beef is piled high with mashed avocado, tomato, and a heavy layer of mayonnaise inside a bread roll, dripping by the first bite. It's a defining order at Santiago's countless sandwich bars.
Why it's made this way: The tricolor topping style was popularized in Santiago's sandwich-counter scene and remains most closely tied to the capital's fast-lunch culture.
