Faux Chacarero: Spring 2015 Edition

Faux chacarero: A play on the Chilean sandwich using leftovers.

If you’ve worked in Boston anywhere near Downtown Crossing in the last couple decades, you’ve no doubt noticed people waiting in epically long lines — both to order AND to pick up — for something of an unusual Chilean sandwich featuring green beans.

One summer, I got my entire office hooked on these bad boys.  We’d fax in an order of 40 sandwiches, get a crew together for the pick-up run, and then roll in like rockstars with a wad of cash while we skipped the lines and collected dirty stares by the dozen.

I don’t get the chance to swing by Chacarero as often as I’d like, but I occasionally make do by MacGyver-ing up my own out of leftovers.  This is my Faux Chacarero: Spring 2015 Edition.
