In Andalusian cuisine, a serranito is a kind of warm sandwich, popular in Seville.[http://www.recetin.com/serranito-de-lomo-el-bocadillo.html Serranito recipe] It is the Andalusian traditional version of fast food.

The main ingredients are grilled meat (chicken or pork loin), cured ham, fried green pepper and sliced tomato. Other versions include omelet, lettuce, cheese or fried bacon. It is frequently served with sauces such as mojo picón, mayonnaise or alioli.

It is generally consumed at lunch or dinner, as a main dish after a snack of tapas. It is often available at fairs and verbenas.

A smaller version of the serranito is known as the {{ill|montadito|es|Montadito}}.

As the origin of this typical dish today, there are the "Échate pa' ya" bars in the Cerro del Águila and Juan XXIII neighborhoods of Seville in the 1970s.{{citation needed|date=June 2022}} From that formula, the ex-bullfighter José Luis Cabeza Hernández, who during his active time was known as José Luis del Serranito, patented the trademark and the term Serranito, as well as the tapa.{{cite web|url=http://www.diariodesevilla.es/article/sevilla/806425/serranito/donde/vas/por/alfonso/xii.html|title=Serranito: dónde vas por Alfonso XII|quote=este establecimiento que José Luis del Serranito abrió el 1 de diciembre de 1987|date=7 October 2010}}
