Hmm. I guess it’s a matter of opinion. If a Puerto Rican invented it in a Puerto Rican restaurant basing it on a popular Puerto Rican sandwich already in existence, doesn’t that make the dish Puerto Rican? 🙂

Hmmm…Wikipedia says differently, “Chicago restaurateur Juan “Peter” Figueroa introduced the jibarito at Borinquen Restaurant, a Puerto Rican restaurant in the Humboldt Park neighborhood, in 1996, after reading about a Puerto Rican sandwich created in Plátano Loco in 1991 substituting plantains for bread.”

Perhaps the sandwich hadn’t yet gained island-wide popularity when you were there as a kid?

Great recipe but jibaritos come from Chicago. I remember as a kid, I went to Puerto Rico and asked for a jibarito and they laughed at me. Had no idea what we were talking about.
