About this dish

Chipa is a type of small, baked, cheese-flavored roll, a popular snack and breakfast food in Paraguay. The recipe has existed since the 18th century and its origins are inexpensive and often sold from streetside stands and on buses by vendors carrying a large basket with the warm chipa wrapped in a cloth. The original name is from Guarani chipa. A small chipa may be called a chipita. In Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia, the term cuñapé (Guarani) is often used. In some parts of Argentina, it is called chipá (with an accent mark), or chipacito when it is small.
