A hearty and flavorful Mexican torta made with toasted rolls layered with savory meat, creamy beans, fresh vegetables, and melty cheese for a deeply satisfying sandwich.

Ingredients

  • 4 bolillo rolls or crusty sandwich rolls
  • 1 pound cooked meat (chicken or beef), sliced or shredded
  • 1 cup refried beans
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 ripe avocados, sliced
  • 2 medium tomatoes, sliced
  • 1/2 medium onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded lettuce
  • 1/4 cup sliced jalapeños
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (Oaxaca, mozzarella, or queso fresco)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Slice the bolillo rolls lengthwise and lightly toast them until warm and slightly crisp.
  2. Spread refried beans evenly on the bottom half of each roll.
  3. Spread mayonnaise on the top half of each roll.
  4. Layer the cooked meat over the beans.
  5. Add the shredded cheese on top of the meat so it melts slightly.
  6. Top with avocado slices, tomato, onion, shredded lettuce, and jalapeños.
  7. Season lightly with salt and black pepper.
  8. Close the sandwich and gently press.
  9. Serve warm, optionally wrapping briefly to help the torta hold together.

Notes

  • Tortas are best enjoyed fresh.
  • Toast bread lightly to avoid dryness.
  • Warm fillings separately for best texture.
