The sauce is made with guajillo peppers, onion, garlic, and spices such as cumin and oregano.
Pambazo is a type of bread popular in Mexico. This bread is commonly dipped in sauce and filled with various ingredients. It is a unique type of culinary presentation common to parts of Mexico such as Puebla and Veracruz. To make pambazo bread, cooks commonly use white flour, lard or shortening, and sugar and salt as flavorings. A supply of water is needed to mix the dough. Some recipes may use different types of yeast to make the bread rise. This bread is generally a white bread, not a whole-grain bread, and is made tough enough to stick together when dipped in a spicy sauce, as is commonly done with this dish.
The sauce that the sandwiches are dipped in is often called guajillo based on the type of peppers used. This chili sauce commonly includes chili peppers, onion, and garlic. Salt can also be added. The guajillo sauce gives pambazo a colorful and attractive exterior of a bright red-orange color.
In the most common types of pambazo sandwiches, the white bread is filled with a mix of foods. Common fillings include potatoes with chorizo sausage. Some recipes also call for chicken breast or other meat. In some cases, when Mexican vendors sell pambazo on certain Latin American holidays, such as the Lenten season, the pambazo may use grated cheese instead of meat.
In addition to the above ingredients, some common additions apply to many of these sandwich types. Those who make sandwiches often include avocado slices. You can also use fresh onion.
Some cooks add a range of additional spices to the guajillo that cooks use on sandwiches. Flavors such as cumin and oregano are common. Some cooks may also include sweeter spices like cloves and cinnamon. Another common one is allspice, in which whole berries can be mashed in a mortar and pestle or otherwise processed.
In addition to the meat and savory fillings, the makers of these sandwiches often fill them with other ingredients such as lettuce and cilantro, a commonly used herb in Mexican cooking. All of these ingredients can make the sandwich rather messy and challenging to eat. Some cooks get around the problem of an overly messy bun by coating the roles in sauce instead of dunking the entire sandwich in the sauce. Fans of the dish point out that when the harder bread, sometimes called low pan, is prepared properly, its inherent toughness helps it stand up to the sauce quite well.
