Bread with butter and pickles is a delicious and simple preparation that has won over palates in various regions of Latin America. Its origin dates back to traditional homemade recipes, where accessible ingredients were used to accompany daily bread with a distinctive touch of flavor. In different countries of the region, this combination can be found under various names: in Mexico, some similar variations are known as "tortas con pepinillos" (sandwiches with pickles), while in countries like Argentina or Chile, pickles are often integrated as a complement in sandwiches or side dishes for meats.
This dish reflects the fusion of sweet and sour flavors, thanks to the use of pickled cucumbers that perfectly contrast with the smoothness of the butter and the texture of the bread. Furthermore, the recipe has evolved over time, including different spices and preparation techniques, such as using the microwave to speed up the pickling process.
