Method

Achiote Chicken Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, mix together achiote paste, orange juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Add chicken breasts and coat thoroughly. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked. Let rest before slicing.

Cilantro Slaw Preparation

  1. 3

    Prepare the Slaw

    In a large bowl, combine shredded cabbage, chopped cilantro, lime juice, olive oil, and salt. Toss well to combine and set aside to let flavors meld.

Garlic Mayo Preparation

  1. 4

    Make the Garlic Mayo

    In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, minced garlic, and lemon juice until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Assembly

  1. 5

    Assemble the Torta

    Slice the sourdough baguette in half. Spread a generous layer of garlic mayo on both sides. Add sliced chicken, cilantro slaw, avocado, tomato, pickled jalapenos, and crumbled feta on one side. Close the sandwich and press gently.

  2. 6

    Serve

    Cut the torta in half and serve immediately with any additional toppings or sides as desired.
