Tortas Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meat

    Cook your choice of meat until fully cooked and heated through. If using pre-cooked meat, simply warm it in a pan.

  2. 2

    Toast the Rolls

    Cut the bolillo rolls in half lengthwise. Lightly toast them on a skillet or grill until golden brown.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Tortas

    Spread mayonnaise on the bottom half of each roll. Add a generous amount of the cooked meat, followed by a layer of sliced cheese.

  4. 4

    Add Toppings

    Top the cheese with shredded lettuce, tomato slices, onion slices, jalapenos, and avocado slices.

  5. 5

    Finish with Sour Cream

    Spread sour cream on the top half of the roll and place it on top to complete the sandwich.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Cut the tortas in half if desired, and serve immediately with extra jalapenos or hot sauce on the side.
