Preparation
Colombian starter plate. Tequeños are at the front left.

To prepare it, the dough is wrapped around a cheesestick and formed into a breadstick so it can be fried in oil for 6 minutes at 400 °F (204 °C) or sometimes oven-baked. Other things can go inside the filling such as chocolate or chorizo.
