About Carnitas torta
The Carnitas Torta is a savory Mexican sandwich, brimming with bold flavors and hearty ingredients. It features tender, slow-cooked pork carnitas layered on a crusty bolillo or telera roll, complemented by creamy refried beans, fresh slices of avocado, crisp lettuce, juicy tomatoes, and pickled jalapeños for a zesty kick. Often topped with a dollop of tangy crema or mayonnaise, this dish is a beloved staple of Mexican street food cuisine. Its vibrant flavors stem from traditional cooking techniques and seasonings, like citrus and aromatic spices used in the carnitas. While rich in protein from the pork, the torta can be indulgent due to its high fat content, especially if cooked with lard or topped generously with creamy spreads. Incorporating avocado and fresh vegetables adds valuable nutrients, but moderation is key to enjoying this flavorful treat.
