Description
Tortas are an iconic dish in Mexican cuisine, consisting of a sandwich made with a bolillo or telera, breads that are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Tortas are known for their versatility, as they can be filled with a wide variety of ingredients, from meats like breaded steak (milanesa), chorizo, or al pastor, to vegetarian options. In addition to the main protein, tortas typically include refried beans, avocado, tomato, lettuce, onion, and salsa, creating a mix of flavors and textures that make them irresistible.
