 2 reviewsSandwichito Recipe. Sandwichito means little sandwich And this little sandwich packs a punch of flavor. The sandwich was created by a family from the Yucutan peninsula in Mexico which is known for its use of the spicy habanero chile. The sandwich is a creamy combination of meat with a slight hint of the larger than life taste of the habanero. This is a great appetizer for any party or family gathering.
