Torta Ingredients
Method
Cooking Directions
- 1
Marinate the Pork
In a large bowl, combine the diced pork shoulder, pineapple, onion, cilantro, lime juice, chipotle peppers, garlic, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well to ensure the pork is evenly coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

Cook the Pork
Preheat your grill or a skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the pork from the marinade and cook until well browned and cooked through, about 10-15 minutes. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).

Assemble the Tortas
Slice the bolillo rolls in half and lightly toast them. Fill each roll with the cooked pork mixture. Top with additional pineapple, onion, and cilantro if desired. Serve with lime wedges.
