Tortas Ingredients

Method

Tortas Preparation

1

Prepare the Ingredients

Gather all the ingredients and prepare the meats (chicken, carne asada, carnitas, pastor) by warming them in a skillet over medium heat until heated through.

2

Assemble the Tortas

Slice each telera roll in half. Spread a generous layer of chipotle mayo on both sides of the roll. Layer black beans, your choice of meat (chicken, carne asada, carnitas, or pastor), and a handful of shredded Oaxaca cheese on the bottom half of the roll.

3

Finish and Serve

Top with fresh cilantro and a sprinkle of salt and pepper to taste. Place the top half of the roll over the fillings. Serve each torta with a side of fresh hand-cut chips and lime wedges for squeezing.
