Regios or Bollitos is a traditional dish from the department of El Cauca, Colombia. Regios or Bollitos are thin slices of beef and pork that are rolled around a filling of hogao(Colombian creole sauce). They are then cooked in beef broth, dipped in grated cheese batter and fried.
The flavor of the hogao, herbs, and cheesy batter are a delight in every bite.
Buen provecho!
