To burn it off
The marraqueta is Chile's daily bread, a crusty roll baked as two halves pressed together, so it tears into pieces. In some parts of Chile it's called pan francés.
Plain it's 270 kcal, almost all carbs. With palta, mashed avocado, it's 360 kcal and the fat goes from 2 g to 14 g.
Chileans eat about 90 kg of bread a person a year. Most of it, it seems, is this roll.
Tips
- 1Eat one half, not the whole roll, and add more filling.
- 2Avocado is a good topping. Watch the extra butter and mayonnaise.
- 3Add egg or cheese for protein, so it lasts until lunch.
