Ecuadorian Tunnbrödsrulle

Ingredients

The Ecuadorian Tunnbrödsrulle differs from the original Swedish version in several ways. Firstly, the flatbread used in the Ecuadorian version incorporates local Andean ingredients, giving it a unique flavor and texture. Additionally, the filling of the Ecuadorian Tunnbrödsrulle includes traditional Ecuadorian ingredients such as grilled meat, avocado, pickled onions, and a spicy salsa, which adds a distinct Andean flair to the dish.

Treat your ingredients with care...

• Avocado — Choose ripe avocados that are slightly soft to the touch. To prevent browning, drizzle the avocado slices with lime or lemon juice.
• Pickled onions — For a milder flavor, soak the sliced onions in cold water for 10 minutes before marinating them in the vinegar and sugar mixture.
• Flatbreads — If you can't find traditional tunnbröd, you can substitute it with thin tortillas or wraps.

Tips & Tricks

• Experiment with different types of marinated meat, such as adobo-marinated chicken or grilled shrimp, to add variety to the dish.
• Add a dollop of creamy mayonnaise or a sprinkle of fresh cilantro for extra flavor.
• If you prefer a spicier salsa, add a few drops of hot sauce or finely chopped chili peppers.

Presentation advice
