Salchipapas is one of those dishes you are going to find all over Colombia on the kids menu at restaurants. I grew up eating Salchipapas con Salsa Rosada and I still enjoy this traditional Colombian snack.
Buen provecho!

It's spelled "Colombia" and "Colombian" The river and other locations in the US are spelled with a U, the country is spelled with an O. If you're doing anything regarding Colombia in school you should get this correct.
