Reviro

Reviro — street food from Misiones, Argentina

It's built from almost nothing — just flour, water, and fat — a bare-bones recipe that field and yerba mate plantation workers relied on when little else was available.

A simple flatbread of flour, water, and fat, pan-fried into a dense, slightly crisp round, sold at rural fairs and roadside stands across Misiones. It's often torn by hand and eaten with mate or a bit of cheese.

Why it's made this way: Reviro comes out of the labor camps and rural communities tied to Misiones' yerba mate plantations, a practical field food specific to the province's agricultural history.
