Tacacho is a traditional Peruvian meal that is typically served for breakfast. It is popular in theAmazonas region, where the natives boil or grillplantains, peel them, then mash them in a large wooden mortar. When mashed, the plantains are combined with lard, salt, and tiny pieces of pork rind and served with vegetables andchorizo on the side.[1]
This dish originated in west Africa. In the Caribbean and parts of South America with large African influences the plantains are boiled or roasted and typically smashed with garlic.[citation needed]
