Tortas (Mexican Sandwich)

If you ever go to Mexico City, you will see stalls with the word Tortas written on them.

You could say a torta is a Mexican sandwich.
There are many possible combinations and this is one of my favourites. It’s quick and easy to make, ideal for a tasty lunch.

In the version below I made everything in the oven, so there’s hardly any washing up.

To make the torta spicier you can use chipotle sauce, like this one.
