Tacacho de Plátano is a traditional dish from Peruvian cuisine, particularly enjoyed in the Amazon region. It consists of mashed green plantains, typically mixed with bits of chicharrón (crispy pork rind) and seasoned with salt and spices. Sometimes a touch of lard is added for flavor and texture. This hearty dish is often served as a side or paired with cured meats like cecina. Nutritionally, Tacacho de Plátano is rich in dietary fiber from the plantains, supporting digestive health. It provides energy through complex carbohydrates and contains vitamins like vitamin C and B6. However, the inclusion of pork fat and chicharrón can increase its saturated fat and calorie content, making moderation key for a balanced diet. Tacacho is a flavorful comfort food that reflects the earthy, resourceful cooking traditions of Peru's Amazonian communities.
