About Tigrillo
Tigrillo is a traditional Ecuadorian breakfast dish hailing from the coastal regions, known for its hearty and flavorful blend of mashed green plantains mixed with scrambled eggs and cheese. Sometimes, it includes crispy pork rinds or chorizo for added texture and richness. The dish combines savory and slightly sweet flavors, making it a popular comfort food in the country's cuisine. Its base ingredient, green plantains, is a good source of dietary fiber, potassium, and slow-digesting carbohydrates, offering sustained energy throughout the day. Eggs provide protein and essential nutrients, while cheese contributes calcium and flavor. However, the dish can be calorie-dense depending on the amount of cheese and fried components included, making moderation key for those monitoring fat intake. Tigrillo is a warm, satisfying meal that balances nutrition with indulgence in a way that reflects the heart of Ecuadorian culinary traditions.
