Authentic Mexican Torta (Sandwich made with Bread).
Let’s start at the ground level. I like the “Bread” to be light and a bit airy. I make my own bread for my tortas. Some people like a texture more towards a French rolls consistency. Which ever way you prefer they will come out perfect every time. I will include the Mexican Bolillos dough recipe below.
There are many choices hot or cold, meat and veggies to put on to your Torta. I have listed a few different ways to make an authentic Mexican torta.
Carnitas (Slow Roasted Pork): Shredded Pork,
Carne Asada Beef
Arrachera Beef (Skirt Steak BBQ)
Slow Cooked Shredded Beef
Chicken Shredded
Fried Chicken Pieces
Ham and Cheese
Batter Fried Fish and Shrimp
All Veggies for the Vegetarian
The following ingredients are usually served as condiments for the Tortas. Frijoles (Beans), Avocado, Tomato, Onion, Lettuce, Jalapenos, Cilantro, Lime juice, Mayonnaise, Green Chili Sauce, Sour Cream, Pico De Gallo, Salsa, Tapatio Hot Sauce.
Breakfast Torta: Scrambled Egg, Cheese and Bacon, Sausage or Ham and veggies.
The Bread… You can buy some rolls from a Mexican bakery in you area. Or if you are like me, I Love to bake my own. Here’s the recipe I use.
This juicy garlic smeared Tri-Tip Roast is the perfect meat for a gracious dinner, yummy brunch sandwich’s or a burrito.
This a great recipe for the BBQ Grill or pop it in the oven.
Roasting Garlic:
Preheat oven 350.
Cut just the very tops off of garlic clove.
Put 3 teaspoons of real butter on top of each cluster of cloves or you can drizzle olive oil.
Roast Garlic for approx. 55 minutes or until skins are golden brown.
Remove from oven and wait 20 minutes or until cool to touch.
Squeeze the garlic cloves out of the skins into a bowl.
Smash the garlic with fork, this will leave the garlic soft and pliable to spread over the top of the Tri-Tip Roast.
Add salt and coarse pepper in the bowl and mix well.
