Recipe: Gluten-Free Jibarito Sandwich

Last Updated on March 12, 2023 by the Celiac-Disease.com Staff

Here is an interesting gluten-free version of a recipe for a Jibarito. A Jibarito is a popular sandwich in Puerto Rico. It’s easy to make and if you aren’t a beef fan, you can even substitute chicken! Probably the best part about this sandwich recipe is that there is no bread involved. Tasty plantains take the place of a traditional bun.
