It is widely believed that this sándwich originated in the city after which it was named, Philadelphia. It is one of those typical “American” foods which find themselves with a wide range of interpretations and varieties. One of the most common debates about this sandwich derives from the kind of cheese which should go on it. Some argue that it should be provolone, others a cheese spread and still others American cheese. In our case, we are going to have to go with the one most people believe was the original - provolone. Now, here is the twist. Let’s add a little Latin touch to the debate, shall we? For this recipe we are going to add Guasacaca, a sauce with an avocado base. The great thing about this sauce is that it is great on many sandwiches from hamburgers, to hot dogs, tacos, tostadas or whatever else you like. Let’s take a look at this Latin interpretation of the Philly classic now.

Expert Tips

  • tip 1
    If you like spicy food, add some tabasco sauce to the guasacaca.
  • tip 2
    To make extra space for your meat, remove some of the bread from the middle of each roll. This will help keep the meat nestled in the roll.
